[BC] WKBW/WGR

[Bob Tarsio]

Scott:

I noted on the NY Radio Message Board that there was some discussion of some
photos that you took of WPLJ FM's transmitter site. Are these posted
somewhere? If so where could I see them? Kevin Plumb and Mark Kordash are
good friends and customers and I would love to see what they did with the
room. I think they have some of our gear in the racks up there too!

550 has moved its day tower around the array over the years. Until 
recently, it was using the tall tower on the NE corner of the array, 
but with an increasing number of cell antennas on that tower, they 
moved the day ND signal to the NW stick in the 550 night array.
