Low-Power FM Antenna: KNGY is an existing radio station that now broadcasts from the top of a residential building at 1101 Green Street on Russian Hill.

KNGY currently operates at 3,600 watts of effective radiated power. The new antenna will operate at 510 watts of effective radiated power. The antenna will be approximately 15 feet high by 5 feet wide by 2 feet deep, and will be mounted on the north leg of Sutro Tower at Level 3, approximately 380 feet above ground using an existing set of brackets installed to support a previously approved antenna. No alteration to the existing equipment building at the base of Sutro Tower would be required.
