KFI
REPLACEMENT TOWER #2 8/14/2008 640 kHz Los Angeles, CA | |
| | |
August
14, 2008 Erected in 13 days, the tower that took almost 4 years rebuild finally stands tall in La Mirada, CA. I arrived on 8/14 as the Seacomm crew was pulling out for the last time. It is a big, broad tower with a 50-foot capacitive hat for top loading and is lit on two levels with High Intensity Strobe Lighting. You can't miss it driving down the 5 freeway or across the 91 freeway near Beach Blvd. It is worth seeing the scale, the top hat and the raised northeast anchor, which is MUCH beefier than the original, as you see below. We're glad to see this old friend return and look forward to it being fed 50,000 watts of RF in September. | ||
