Having seen almost all of the interesting facilities in the immediate Dallas-Fort Worth area, we made one last stop before heading north to rejoin John Callarman in Denton. That last stop was the home of Susquehanna talker KLIF (570 Dallas), where Belt Line Rd. turns the corner from North to West in Grapevine. Of course, the famous callsign currently gracing this facility doesn't really belong—KLIF historically being the 1190 we saw on Friday—but this station itself is at least as historic: it's the old WFAA, one half of the WFAA/WBAP sharetime described earlier. (We had actually passed this site with Wally on Friday evening, but it was well past sunset and too dark for photography.)
Incidentally, it's nigh-impossible to get a good shot of the towers (legally at least), and we were somewhat pressed for time, so we didn't make much of an attempt. In any event, there are three tall, widely-spaced towers here, lined up right on the margin of one of the numerous artificial lakes in the Metroplex. There is a park nearby to which Scott was able to return later in his trip and get a decent angle on the towers; for me, it'll have to wait until NRC '03.
