It's certainly true that tower had really become hemmed-in  by
development.   In fact I've never seen buildings built so  close to a AM
tower.  They must have been built right over the ground  system!  What did
they do about the radials?- do they run under the  buildings?  I can only
imagine how high the RF field must be is in  those buildings- you can
probably hear the plumbing talking!   At  this point it would seem more
logical to rebuild the tower in a less  populous area.

Not that many years ago the KFI tower was a fenced in area with none of  
those warehouses. At the time the station was owned by Cox.  After Cox  built a 
shopping center on the WSB AM proerity in Atlanta is when the deals were  made 
for the warehouses at KFI.  This was before the present owners as I  recall.
 
I would imagine they installed a new ground system like in Atlanta.
 
Any comments from the KFI engineers on this page.  Newcomb???
