This tower is Antenna Structure Registration 1229046, built in 2003, and now owned by American Tower, as is the big one (tallest on the mountain) a few feet away to the right here.

Details:

Structure Coordinates: 34-13-57.0 N 118-4-27.2 W (NAD 83)

Site Elevation: 1724.7 meters (5658 ft)

Height of Structure: 48.8 meters (160 feet)

Overall Height Above Ground: 74.4 meters (244 feet)

Overall Height Above Mean Sea Level: 1799.1 meters (5903 feet)

 

The 8-bay antenna is an Electronics Research Inc. SHPXA-8BC-HW-SP, 8sections.5wavelength spacing.

 

It is a shared auxiliary transmitting antenna for KBIG/104.3 (21kw), KIIS/102.7 (4kw), KOST/103.5 (10kw) and KRRL/92.3 (19kw). All of those have aux antennae elsewhere as well.

 

The 2-bay side mounted below that may be a 93.9 antenna fromwhen it was KZLA. It's now (in 2020) KLLI. There is no current (April 2020) license for this one.

 

If you look here, you'll see that the new master pole replaces the original 3-bay batwing for KCBS-TV/2: www.flickr.com/photos/infrastructure/42380796240/in/album...
