New transmitter building, 1941

Date
  • 1941
Description
  • Located on the college experimental farm at Granger (about seven miles north of campus), this new transmitter house and two new 325-foot radio towers (in rear) were required in order for KOAC to increase the station power from 1000 to 5000 watts. The Granger site provided sufficient room for a ground system of 66 miles of copper wire buried two feet deep. The KOAC transmitter is a familiar landmark on Hwy. 20 to commuters between Corvallis and Albany and is on the Benton County Register of Historic Resources. The building was designed by OSC faculty members H.R. Sinnard and Grant Feikert.
