In 1924 KGFJ started broadcasting from the Odd Fellows Lodge Building on Oak Street near downtown Los Angeles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The station was located on the top floor of the building. |

The Odd Fellows emblem is still in place at the entry to the building. |

The transmission line wire runs through the roof of the building and up to the wire antenna. Station ground is derived from the steel building frame. |

Looking closely, see the array of four horizontal wires that was the main feature of this antenna assembly. |

The KYPA ATU includes a KBLA 1580 kHz reject filter. The small box mounted on the tower contains a capacitor that couples KYPA's energy into KBLA's #6 tower.
