    Here I am. The Federal transmitter was for the CH3 TV station. The 
original Fm transmitter for the now WBCT , when it was WJFM was a pair 
of the RCA TV transmitters modifed for the FM band. I think it was using 
the 5762's (?) Somewhere, someone has promised me the pictures they have 
so I can scan them in. Those WILL end up at Barry's and Scott's sites. 
Gotta share this stuff. Now, to hunt down the pictures.
