[TowerTalk] KFI to get new guy wires!

[Dino Darling]

Last summer I sent out the message below.  Well, after MUCHO delays, KFI in 
Los Angeles CA is finally going to get her new guy wires!  Weather 
permitting, they are supposed to start on Thursday, 3-5-04.  This will be a 
3-week project!

In the mean time, KFI will be transmitting off their 250', top loaded, 
back-up tower at about 20KW.

If you want to see how this is done (from a safe distance), you might want 
to drive by in the next couple of weeks.  (Tower-Pro guys already KNOW how 
its done!)

The KFI tower is located just off the 5 Fwy and Knott in La Mirada.  Just 
look for the 750' tower with little ants climbing all over it!
