Dave,
The old 3 tower array between Key West and Stock Island was 250 watt WKIZ at 1500 the Swafford station.  The pattern was a tight east-west bowtie.  1600 was and remains WKWF whose non-d tower was on Stock Island near the drive in and behind the old dog track, both long departed.
The other 4 tower commercial array was WFFG on Boot Key near Marathon.  It had separate patterns with 500 watts.  Today they run 2500 watts into a two tower with a tight east-west pattern.
Radio Marti at Marathon continues with 4 towers although they originally had three sticks, they run the 50kw day and 100kw nights.
The TV balloons were known as Fat Albert.
