Located on the Oregon State College experimental farm at Granger (about seven miles north of its campus) on U.S. Highway 20, this new transmitter house and two new 325-foot radio towers (in rear) were required 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.
