Dennis, 'very sad to read this. Still, I'm very glad that they let us 
tour their studios. 'Happy you've preserved the event with your camera. 
By the way, if you're near a radio listen to 1130 right now--that test 
tone is booming in from OR. --Mike Sanburn  KG6LJU

Station Manager was very nice and she spent a lot of time showing us 
around and answered all of our questions. She's been in radio a long 
time and told us about the many stations she's worked at all across the 
country. Hopefully the new owners will keep her on so she won't have to 
move again.

only been viewed a few times so have a look (BIG HINT; clicking on any

> Several of the photos show KALY's tower; they share a tower with two 
other stations. It's a four tower array and being a graveyarder they 
are ND and only use one of the towers. I don't know which one it is. 
Diplexing is quite common in Albuquerque.
