[BC] KFI Tower replacement ?

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

I'll bet whatever owner of KFI was that sold all the land around the tower
never thought about a replacement tower.
Which one of the big class A AM's rebuilt their tower with new steel right
in place so as to avoid this type of thing?  Anyone remember?  KKDA? WHO?
Not sure..

         There is one over-riding factor
         that should be clear, if you consider
         what has happened since 1948.

         Did you look at my KFI page?
         Do you see anything that might be a problem?
