This is the KOAB FM/TV tower.  Located on Awbrey Butte, just West of Bend.
The OPB Channel 3 TV antenna is on top, while the FM antenna is visible
mounted on the side of the tower.

The KOAB transmitter building.  OPB uses this location to service all of the FM, TV,
and Microwave sites in Central Oregon as far South as Lakeview.  Some sites
require the use of a tracked snow vehicle much of the year.

This the office/ shop area.  Here Max is making a fine tuning adjustment to
the Toshiba solid state 10 kW, Channel 3, TV transmitter.
