A quick tour of Los Angeles, California's KNX 1070 Khz AM 50,000 watt all news radio radio station transmitter and radio antenna site located in Torrance, California.I apologize for the some what fuzzy and low quality video due to 2nd or 3rd generation copy of a very old video tape. This radio station covers the Los Angeles and Southern California area during the day and can heard through out the Western USA at night. For more information on radio station KNX, simply type in KNX into any major search engine such as Google. This video was taped on July 11th, 1993 by Bill Wolverton, KI7F. My e-mail is at ki7f@yahoo.com and my home web site is http://www.ki7f.com/ and I have hundreds of photos posted at http://community.webshots.com/... and I have a MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/ki7f

AM radio tower have power that travel in them and the guy wires when they are powered on. If you thouch them they will kill you as the warning sign said that is why the double wire.

You have a cheapchannel aka clearchannel attitude,you should work for them,then again they don't believe in humans either.

Interesting video. Thanks for going to the trouble. I didn't know the little antenna was a back up. I thought it was to phase it for up and down the coast direction. I would love to see pictures of the KNX temporary tower after the vandal collapsed it. I saw it as a kid. It was a huge clothes line thing. Do you have any info on that?

Not paranoia actuall, but rather a valid and novel idea to install protection for the guy wires. In the 1960's, vandals cut a guy wire and collapsed one of KNX's antenna, knocking them off the air.

Krist, in LA an earthquake would do the job easy. Used to hear KNX on east coast years ago before FCC put 24/7 stations on same frequency!

What? I thought you were going to give a real tour and go inside the transmitter hut. Anyone can photo stupid radio towers. Hardly interesting, except by way, perhaps, the double wire, barbed wire defenses. Rather an over kill and parania at its best.

Apparently, you just Don't Got it.

Well there is no way to hide a 500 ft radio tower. And one doesn't need access to the transmitter to put one out of business. You don't even need to step foot on the property. In fact, it's so easy to do it sometimes happens accidentally.
