The AM transmitter is actually in Clifton. I used to live about a mile away  
from it and could see the tower lights from my house. If I recall, the last  
time I rode by there, there were a set of FM antennas on one of the AM  towers. 
 
 
I wasn't living in NJ when WPAT was BM so I just thought they  originated the 
FM from the same AM site at one time.
 
It must have been a great place to work. It looks like what you would think  
a radio station from the 50's and 60's would look like.
