In Everett, Washington, the sabotaged towers of KRKO (1380) are being rebuilt

Radio Tower

The towers were literally pulled down, allegedly by an act of sabotage by ecoterrorists, almost a year ago. Last September, Radio-Info reported that two towers in the four-tower array were toppled by a group claiming to be from the Earth Liberation Front. The Snohomish News reports that work has begun on replacing the two fallen towers, one a 349-foot tower and the other a 199-footer, in an effort to bring the station back to full-power. KRKO has been running at reduced power. KRKO and its sports-talk format currently operates a nondirectional signal at 34,000-watts during the day and at 12,500-watts at night, and wants to increase their power output to 50,000-watts, but faces objections from area residents.
