Broadcast Peak, between Goleta and Lake Cachuma. This site at the very rigde of the Santa Ynez Mountains has an unobstructed view of the entire Santa Barbara County. This is well known in the community and is the site of the local television station: KEYT-TV channel 3 (ABC) as well as the university radio station KCSB (91.9 FM). About a quarter mile further west is Santa Ynez Peak, filled with non-broadcast communication towers: Microwave links for the county, for AT&T etc. Halfway between Broadcast Peak and San Marcos Pass KRUZ (103.3 FM) - one of the highest powered transmitters in the USA - sits on a tower by itself. |

BNS Gibraltar (Community Radio Inc) on Gibraltar Road,
halfway up the mountain right behind the city of Santa Barbara.
Almost all the radio stations in Santa Barbara are gathered in
this one spot, but hardly anyone has seen it. While the towers at broadcast peak
are silhouetted against the sky, the ones on Gibraltar blend in against
the backdrop of the mountainside chaparral.
In addition to the broadcast stations, this site houses paging transmitters, wireless internet access points, microwave links, public safety transponders, etc etc. For information about this site, see http://www.sbtower.com. |
