" I have a question, which station has, or using the smallest, vertical,
AM Radiator in the US, excluding Valcom or Kinstar Antennas. The
smallest I think is at KLID-AM in Pine Bluff, MO. It's a Class IV (Class
C) at 1340. I was having a debate with someone on this topic the other
day. I think KLID's radiator/tower is only 100'.

I am operating on memory mode here. Maybe, a dozen years ago, I was hired
to measure base impedance on KFCR, Custer, SD. They had been dark for some
time and were required to submit a new measurement before they could resume
broadcasting. The tower was 80 or 90 ft. of Rohn 25. The area was so rocky
(including big boulders) that burial of radials was not in the cards. The
radials were stretched out over the rocks. The coverage sucked.
