[BC] 710 site used for "24"...

[Burt I. Weiner]

I know this site well - At least as of about 5 years ago.  The stairs 
in the back lead up to a room on the north side of the building that 
was used by Mel Mobley as his engineering office.  Mel did a lot of 
directional work around the country side.  The RCA's fan room was 
actually down stairs, under the building.

The glass brick windows seen are on the south side of the building 
facing Burbank Blvd.  From the brief glimpse I got, It appears that 
the new Nautel transmitter may be on the southwest side of the main 
transmitter room.  I couldn't tell for sure but it looks like the 
MW-50 may still be there.  For sure the carcass of the BTA-50F is still there.
