The KGO Transmitter Building and Antenna
This photo shows the KGO transmitter building and antenna which
operated from 1924 to 1947 at 5441 E. 14th Street in Oakland,
on the grounds of a General Electric transformer factory.
The two 150-foot steel towers that supported the antenna straddled the
transmitter building, one on each side, at a spacing of 260 feet,
so that the antenna was strung directly over the structure.
Twelve counterpoise wires were strung parallel to the antenna fourteen feet
above the ground and covering an area of 150 x 300 feet.
