Driving to downtown Minneapolis on I-35 on December 19, 2008. There is the IDS Center, the tall blue building with black accent-band at the top. Many antennas for radio broadcast stations are up there. Note the Foshay Tower just to the right of the IDS. With its pyramid-shaped top and antenna tower, it was the tallest building in Minneapolis for many years. Now it is just small in comparison. |
 |
Inside the IDS Center is the Crystal Court where an American Flag proudly hangs for everyone to see. |
 |
Here is your intrepid
radio broadcast engineer, Mark Persons, using his
new Agilent N9340B Spectrum Analyzer
to measure the KFAI signal. KFAI is now running in IBOC (In-Band On-Channel) mode where digital modulation added to the existing analog modulation of the station. |
 |
After the measurement work, Mark stepped out on the roof of this 53-story building to see what the weather was. |
 |
A look over the edge of the IDS roof down to the tops of other buildings in downtown Minneapolis. |

Dan
Zimmermann, Chief Engineer of
KFAI Radio, is seen
standing next to the mast and transmit antenna for the station. Another peek at the buildings below. |
