It's not quite the same scale, but another of the nation's 'mega AM stations', KMOX in St. Louis, has a few interesting articles covering the history of their transmitter / tower and associated gear: https://www.stlmediahistory.org/index.php/Radio/RadioArticles/a-technical-look-at-kmox https://www.stlmediahistory.org/index.php/Radio/RadioArticle... https://www.stlmediahistory.org/index.php/Radio/RadioArticles/kmox-the-voice-of-st.-louis-engineering-history https://www.stlmediahistory.org/index.php/Radio/RadioArticle... https://www.stlmediahistory.org/index.php/Radio/RadioArticles/new-kmox-transmitter https://www.stlmediahistory.org/index.php/Radio/RadioArticle... I used to work as an engineering assistant there, and went to the tower site a few times.
