Add to that the McMartin transmitter (forgot the model number ... it's
been > 20 years) with the 8877 driven by a 4CX250 and a similar CCA
transmitter. I suspect a great majority of the class A FM stations
are/were running 8877 based transmitters (at least until the power
increases of a few years ago).
