The original KQIN transmitter building is on the right. It now houses the KGNW DX50 transmitter. The building on the left houses the KJR DX50 transmitter. The shared center tower (both stations use all 3 towers) is between the two buidlings. I used to pick strawberries where the buildings now stand. Photo 1/16/2008
