[ARC5] 416 KC TWEB Goodness

[Tim]

The aviation "Sectional" maps that I have show the antenna location, call
sign and freq of the bigger AM stations...
Eg:  The antenna for KCBS AM in "San Francisco" is on the mud flats about
25 miles north of the city in Marin County.. FWIW..

Handy when demonstrating RDF with an AM transistor radio...  Actually quite
accurate in plotting LOP's, they can have a very deep null.
