In 1979 the original 3 KTRB AM towers on Norwegian Ave. were torn down. The station had been granted a power increase to 50, 000 watts and built a new transmitting site off Claribell Rd. NE of Waterford . These towers were erected in 1942 constructed with sections of well casing pipes brought from the Bakersfield oil fields. A modified pile driver hoisted the well casing pipe sections as they were welded. (story)
