Here is a couple of photos of the Chatworth Peak, taken from different
angles of view. On the top of the peak you can see two antenna masts of
the KVOH Rancho Simi-CA, a religious station transmitting in Spanish on
17775 kHz, with a power of 50 kW. If this type of antenna is a dipole,
I'mconfused about its orientation towards the South. The Birds Eye Map was
recently opened for this area, so now we can see in the third picture the
KVOH Tx site in all its glory (and in detail, as well) !

I live a few miles from KVOH. The antenna is supposed to be a log periodic
with the narrow end on two shorter supports and angling up to the taller
masts seen in the photos. The target area is Central America and the
Carribean. Hence the angle to the southeast. I hike in those hills often
and will try to snap some closer pictures and more details.
