The question is whether these pictures are of the radio site, off US 75 north, or the TV site, a couple of years later, between Post Oak Rd. and Newcastle, on the SW side of town.<br /><br />I am now not sure that I was correct in saying these were of the TV site.<br /><br />There are resources available now which weren't available online when I originally posted this. I will look into these and try to straighten this out and post again.<br /><br />Bruce WilliamsonBrucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689118444867837021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-34255305231281991772019-12-29T08:03:16.242-06:002019-12-29T08:03:16.242-06:00Other posts indicate KLEE applied for a permit in ...Other posts indicate KLEE applied for a permit in Oct. 1947, and was granted in Jan 1948. The fact that an antenna existed in Dec. 1947 does not seem unreasonable to me. Perhaps the photos were part of the rushed approval process. There is an antenna seen in each of the 3 photos. You can trace that antenna in the aerial views at <a href="https://www.historicaerials.com/location/29.723438835607098/-95.45304219818726/1953/19" rel="nofollow">https://www.historicaerials.com/viewer at 29.72343,-95.45314</a> from 1953 to current (in 2012, it was joined by an adjacent, new antenna).<br />And see it as the orange/white antenna in a current <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7238237,-95.4519073,3a,75y,275.63h,90.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szpFmqCn_OEhouHoFgelHdA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192" rel="nofollow">Google Street View</a> off Newcastle.M Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212235374255965306noreply@blogger.com
