Ah yes the old home to Gordon Mclendon's Mighty 1190 KLIF in Downtown Dallas, Of course what's sad is I'm old enough to remember listening to them
Unless of course your refering to the old Mecantile Bank building in the background

Okay - So I'm not as "Experienced" as you guys.

Here is some more recent history. North Dallas Hi five construction near Texas Instruments.

[ka5txl]

ok here are a couple from back in the day, but not as long ago as Wolfman Jack, etc. For the younger folks the medium used is something called Kodak Tri-X and you could buy it in 100 foot rolls and "roll you own"
This site is north of downtown, and south of I-635. This just proves that crane accidents aren't new occurances.

Great shots Larry and Ken
ok who remembers Central when it was TWO LANES all the way from plano to downtown lol and it had those entrance ramps where you had to go from 20 to 80 in about 100ft

Well the one that was by Flag Pole Hill was KBOX which was thier big competior. However there was a transmitter site on Flag Pole Hill and I'm not sure it was either WRR or KRLD.
