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!

I was told today that KFI (640khz AM) is getting a new set of (6) guy wires the first full week in August. The tower is over 750' tall and has 2 sets of 3 guy wires each. I'm told (unofficially) that there is over 20' of sag in the original guy wires.

Is anyone from this list working on this project? I plan on being there to watch/learn and take pictures.
