Re: [IRCA] KSBN facility on top of the Delaney Building

["Dennis Gibson" <wb6tnb@xxxxxxx>]

Bill - here in Santa Barbara we had a similar antenna on top of a seven 
story building from 1946 until the early 1990's. It was KIST-1340. A 
postcard was printed showing the tower on top of the building. They used to 
show up on eBay but I wasn't able to find one there. KIST had to move 
because as the bank on the ground floor started using computers the RF 
caused problems. I have some video somewhere (unknown) of the tower being 
dismantled. Considering the relatively poor ground (straps connected to the 
top floor rails) they got out pretty well.

Here's an interesting story about the tower:
