Interesting Facts/Records (in own words): KWG is one of the oldest radio stations in USA, founded in 1921. It used until Mid Ninties a T-antenna, spun between two 60 metre tall wooden poles. From these poles were a modern mast radiator was installed, the tops scrapped ( picture on http://www.fybush.com/sites/2005/site-051118.html ) and afterwards they were completely removed.

KWG was therefore remarkable as it used as one of the last broadcasting stations wooden poles as antenna towers!
