Boston downtown radio towers (1956)

[Jim Hall]

If I remember my fybush.com correctly, I believe the KTLK/KTNQ site was there first, and the warehouse was built around it with the towers in wells. http://www.fybush.com/sites/2006/site-060127.html

 In my experience (WLLH, Lawrence and some time back WLLH in Lowell, and WALE-AM 1400 in Fall River) and through  photos on Scott's tower calendars, few if any AMs ran directional arrays atop office buildings. I lived in the  Seattle area when I was in the USAF (the US never lost a war during my period of active-duty) and KXA-AM 770  there also had a wire suspended between two towers just like the ones pictured in this post. It appears that  KTLK-AM 1150 in Los Angeles has multiple towers for a directional array atop what looks like a warehouse  building if I type the coordinates in Google or Bing maps and click on satellite or birdseye view.
