>So whats the secret to finding AM broadcast transmitters?

A little detective work.

Let people who are involved in broadcasting in your area know you are 
interested.  I ran into a fellow I hadn't seen in 20 years at a  recent 
hamfest.  We got to talking and somehow the conversation drifted onto the 
subject of broadcast transmitters.  He said, BTW he knew where there was one 
that had been taken out of service.  He gave me the phone number and contact 
person.  The following Monday I called the station, and on Wednesday made my 
first trip to inspect it.  I took the tubes and heavy transformers home that 
day, along with the door and side and back panels.  A week later I was able 
to  come pick up the  rest of the transmitter.

You might try calling all the broadcast stations you know of within a  
radius of how far you would be willing to travel to pick up a transmitter.  
Also, broadcast publications such as RadioWorld have classified ad soctions 
that sometimes carry ads for transmitters.  You might also try visiting the 
website  http://amfone.net/phpBB2/index.php.  Sometimes they carry 
information on available BC xmtrs, or you could sign up and post a "wanted" 
ad.

Sometimes information about available transmitters appears on this BB.
