KGEI Transmitter Building, Redwood City, CA, 2024.

All the pixels, no radio required, at flickr.com/photos/mattblaze/54

@mattblaze I wrote the KGEI article on Wikipedia, mostly based on this source: theradiohistorian.org/kgei/kge

Looks like they covered up the KGEI and General Electric relief back in 2002.

Glad to see it's back.

@W1PAC ah, I also relied on that site when looking for background on the station.

@W1PAC (they also added a historical plaque, I think from the DAR, which you can barely read in the full res version of the photo).

@W1PAC Here's a crop of the plaque (upscaled to 200%, with some somewhat mangled auto-detected alt-text)

@mattblaze Thanks for this! I could barely make the plaque in the original.
