KOH Transmitter Site
Our first project for 2006 was to install a new transmitter for Citadel radio station KKOH in Reno. This view shows the antenna farm, three 320 foot towers in the Lemmon Valley, north of Reno.

We began by relocating the water tank and pump for the dummy load.

In order to make room for the new transmitter, the old backup transmitter, a Collins 830, had to be moved.
