@[email protected] Yeah, KFBK is on 1530, making it at least possible to build a full Franklin antenna (2 half wave verticals stacked atop each other - a full wavelength!)

@[email protected] I wonder if the original Ampliphase development/test transmitter is still there. It's my understanding that their daily driver is a Nautel

@[email protected] Wait, which station? KNBR is (according to their license) a Gates.

@[email protected] oh I was talking about KFBK. At least as of 2009, a Nautel (not sure what model but the front panel reminds me of the V series?), a Harris DX50, and the RCA Ampliphase TX appeared to live there.
