Structure Coordinates: 34-13-55.0 N 118-4-21.0 W (NAD 83)
Site Elevation: 1724.7 meters (5658 ft)
Height of Structure: 274.2 meters (900 feet)
Overall Height Above Ground: 296.4 meters (972 feet)
Overall Height Above Mean Sea Level: 2021.1 meters (6631 feet)
At the top, where the analog channel 2 antennas (the first was, as I recall, a turnstile/batwing thing, and the second was a circularly polarized thig) stood for most of the tower's history, are KDOC/56, radiating on channel 12. Below that is KCBS/2, radiating on channel 31. Mouse over for details on those and the rest.
