Beautiful clouds as seen while driving to the
Mt. Wilson KOST transmitter site.  This view
was taken from La Canada at the base of the mountain.

This view was taken from
 the Red Box Ranger Station looking West.

Looking through a hole in the clouds toward
downtown Los Angeles as seen from the
Mt. Wilson KOST transmitter site.

On the left is the Collins 10 kW standby
transmitter.  On the right is the Nautel 10 kW
FM main transmitter for KOST.

Located behind the building containing
the KOST transmitters is the standby diesel generator.

The KOST main antenna located 380 feet up
on the 450 foot KNBC tower.  The antenna is a
Jampro 3 bay antenna.

The KOST aux antenna located 60 feet up
the 450 foot KNBC tower.  The antenna is
an ERI two bay antenna.
