Page "Mount Washington (New Hampshire)" Paragraph 37

In 1987, WHOM and WMTW were joined on the peak of the mountain by WMOU-FM ( renamed WZPK and now WPKQ ) on a separate tower.

Steve Powell, owner and president of New England Broadcasting, had the tower for WZPK ( known as " The Peak ") built higher than the other structures on the summit ; it became the highest point east of the Mississippi and north of the Carolinas.

The WPKQ transmitters are located in the back of the Yankee Building.

Due to the extreme weather on Mount Washington, both WHOM and WPKQ use specially designed FM antennas which are housed in special cylindrical radomes, manufactured by Shively Labs of nearby Bridgton, Maine.
