RCA Antenna installed on the Empire State Building, 1946
These pictures are RCA publicity photos from 1946. The captions are on the back of the photos. Three antennas were installed: one for 66-72 mHz transmission of TV, one for WEAF-FM, RCA's commercial FM radio station, and one for experiments with RCA's 288 mHz television transmitter. (Thanks to Bill Sutherland for providing us with the correct identification of these pictures)
