This is the pair of KPFK antennas installed in 2001-2. On top is a one-bay Shively 6814 in a radome. That was the auxiliary antenna at the time, and still when this photo was shot. The four-bay main antenna below is a Jampro with radomes.
This replaced a 14-bay antenna. Both put out 112,000 watts ERP, highest on the mountain and by some measures (combining height above average terrain and ERP) the largest FM station in the U.S. The story of the install is told here.
By my next visit in 2015, the Jampro had moved down the tower to become the aux, a new Shively 5-bay 6814 had been installed, and the ERP was 110,000 watts.
