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)
