I knew an engineer that worked there ,, in the 70s they had a pretty
snazzy station. 
I believe he used to lite up that rhombic on the ham bands,,, the station
has a history
of being pretty strange and really bad audio,,, they are tied to ch 49,
WGCB tv and i believe
the fm station is still on the air,, used to be a guy that called in from
a pay phone
for a 15 min rant about taxes and other issues. you pay them the money
and they let
you talk,, the one great program was Bob Barry , ET Moniter
he is on u tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX8wMQowkb0
had a live call in and no delay poor guy really took abuse
had him talk at a keystone VHF club banquet what great fun,,,Bob was a
lot of fun
and a beliver fer shure

I pass WMLK,, npticed that antenna looked like a real ham HB effort
all on a pretty small lot,,
