I see. I brought up Google Maps and see that the tower out east on Quincy was the KSEK/KMRJ complete station. However now there is no studio there. We had studios at the KOAM TV tower back in the day. One day they were doing their midday show when a massive chunk of ice came crashing through the roof from the tower. I see they have their studios in Joplin now.
When I worked for Chambers, we had responsibility for the 102.5 in Joplin as well. Somebody went out with a .22 and shot holes through the heliax near the transmitter. Amazingly, the station continued to operate without issue. Rex saw the damage when he went out there and took electrical tape to tape it all up. That worked until it rained and sparks flew. He ordered a section of heliax when he noticed the damage so it was on its way at the time. In the meantime, a friend of mine and I got permission to go out and hook up an FM receiver to the thing. We were receiving some St. Louis station quite well. Couldn't get anything on the low end of the band since KSYN and KOBC were blowing out the front end on the receiver down there.
So what is the tower on east Quincy now? Is that an AM station at all anymore?
