KLOH AM 1050 KHz / 9 KW Pipestone, MN |
||||||||||||
|
The Christensen Radio broadcast facility is located just west of the city of Pipestone, Minnesota on Highway 30. A 9,000 watt KLOH AM Stereo signal emanates from two towers at this location. We built a complete antenna phasor system for the station in 1991 replacing their original 1000 watt system. KISD FM and KJOE FM audio signals are fed from here to the Chandler tower site about 20 miles to the east. |

Michelle and Lee are the friendly front office staff. |

The antenna was tuned with the aid of a return loss bridge connected to an IFR A-7550 Spectrum Analyzer and tracking generator by M. W. Persons. The test setup is connected to a notebook computer, which captures measurement data for future reference. |

| Here is Collin, at the KISD FM and KJOE FM transmitter site, standing next to the station's 50 KW diesel backup generator plant. He is wearing hearing protection because of the high level of noise when the unit is running. |  |
