The 5 towers have been gone for something like 15 years now, and the land's 
long since been redeveloped. Chester Coleman (a station broker/owner and 
longtime acquaintance) has found some way to keep the thing alive via 
special temporary authority for all these years. When it's on, which is not 
often, it's simulcasting NOAA weather at very low power (something like 40 
watts ND, IIRC).

As Art and others have noted, it's a nearly impossible facility to rebuild, 
what with KYOS on 1480, the 1490 over in Petaluma, the 1510 in Oakland and 
so on. I doubt it could ever get back on at full power.
