The large antenna at the top is for TV channels 10 and 12. The KEMC and KGLT antennas are about halfway down on the left side of the tower.

This rack it tucked away in the attic of the transmitter building, and contains the translators for both KGLT and KEMC. These translators are operated by Last Chance Public Radio of Helena.
