[ARRL-OK] KFI 640 750' tower brought down by a plane

[Nate Bargmann]

On Sunday Dec 19, 2004 the 750' tpwer of KFI 640 AM fell when it was
struck by a small plane.  Here are links with the story and pictures.

and a page about the transmitting facility:

KFI is now using a 200' auxillary tower at reduced power (they were
running 50 kW) so this may be an opportunity for some AM DXing on 640
kHz, although I don't know if KFI was audible back here.
