Rack and transmitter
At the transmitter site, the left rack holds the STL receiver, remote control, and audio processor. On the right, the BE AM1A transmitter.
ATU
Since the KWYS tower has a radiation resistance of about 50 Ohms, the ATU has no matching network. Three capacitors tune out the inductance of the tower.

In July, 2010, the station was unexpectedly forced to move its studio across town. 2010 Studio Move Page.
