WGBH 89.7 Boston

In September 2014, WGBH embarked on a big project to replace the old ERI antenna and transmitters.
The transmitters were replaced by Nautels and the top mast
and antenna were replaced with a brand new turn-key ERI antenna and tower.

This single bay antenna appears to be a temporary aux for WGBH , most likely used during the tower work.


Everything in one shot.
