[BC] Re: Using Google Maps to locate Radio towers

[R J Carpenter]

I like Google Earth better than G. Maps.

39 02 30 N   77 02 46 W    WTWP 1500 (exWTOP  exWJSV) sob
39 00 56 N   77 08 36 W    WMAL 630

38 57 01 N   77 04 46 W    2.5 towers
The building permit for the half-tower was withdrawn a couple of years 
ago (at least).
Tall tower carries antenna used by ch 7 & 9 (diplexed).  Shorter tower 
was ch 9's original.
WHUR(FM) is on one of these. I can't keep track of the CPs for DTV, 
etc.
IIRC, WAMU(FM)'s studios are in the building on the south side of 
Brandywine St.
The large building surrounding the shorter tower started as a small 
building beside the then WICU ch 9 tower.  It was enlarged & enlarged. 
Became home of WTOP AM/FM/TV and CBS Washington studios.  TOP moved 
out.  I don't know what's in the building these days.

38 56 24 N  77 04 53 W   WRC-TV (and others)
38 56 10 N  77 05 31 W   WAMU(FM) WTOP(FM) (exWGMS) WMMJ and others
Original home of Ch7, the first US TV station above ch6.

38 57 50 N  77 06 17 W   750-ft self-supporting candelabra built by 
WDCA-TV also used by WETA-TV and 94.7 & 99.5 FM.  WHUT ch32 is 
side-mounted.

38 57 41 N  76 58 24 W   980 WTEM (exWRC(AM) Note top-hat on tall 
tower.

38 57 47 N  77 01 36 W   ch50 etc  Note "Eiffel Tower" design widely 
split at base. AFAIK, the short tower is their old facility.

38 59 59 N  77 03 25 W   1260 AM 101.1 WWDC-FM & a number of aux 
xmtrs, WDDN-LP ch23.
