Paul Thurst and his Engineering Blog makes the chilling suggestion that we document the tower sites and other aspects of aging AM stations before they disappear, and he gives an example.
1310 kHz, WDTW in Detroit, Michigan, has been removed from service.
As Paul reports, Clear Channel donated the license to Minority Media and Telecommunications Council, but NOT including the towers and land.
Paul links to a video showing the towers being demolished.
He estimates that the new licensee may never have the means to develop a new tower site.
Part 15ers in Detroit now have 1310 to play with.
