@mattblaze Back in 2010, this was KNBR's main transmitter. No pictures of the towers because it was dark when I visited (lots of pictures of the obstruction lighting but I didn't have a tripod and can't handhold nighttime photography worth a damn). This must have been installed some time in the 1990s (it would be a newer model from the 2000s and probably a Nautel instead of a Harris if it had been actually new at the time of my visit).

In response to this post@wollman Neat! According to the license, it was replaced with a Gates 3DX-50 in 2016.
@mattblaze Surprised they stuck with Harris/Gates... at that time, most stations were buying Nautels for the high-power stuff. (The DX-50 shown in that photo was the transmitter that made solid-state real for high-power AM broadcasters, but a modern Nautel XL60 is basically a single 23" cabinet.)
