That is the KTKN tower. On an FCCInfo.com map the tower is between Stedman
Street, where Rob and I saw it, and the harbor. The closest AM transmitter
site is in Canada.
The FM antenna is left over from when that was KGTW's main transmitter
site. It moved to High Mountain, 7 miles west of Ketchikan, in 2001. It is
not an auxiliary. The auxiliary is at the current site.
