It's nice to see that someone else in the city is as fascinated by Sutro Tower as I am! I'll repost your link to the blog shortly. Jeff Larry,

The project continues... two masts are complete and they're working on the third as I write this September 14th. Jeff... you might want to put a link at the top of this page so that people can check out the photos and commentary.

The analog antennas need to move to make room for the new DTV antennas at the top of the mast(s).

But it turns out that many if not most stations are still transmitting. THe VHF stations are all transmitting a loop of a show on how to convert to HD, but there are some UHF stations still transmitting their infomercials, religious broadcasts, etc. I wonder if some of these fall into the category of the low power 100 watt stations, or if they are just waiting to see how long they can go... So for now, no 'after' shot of the display. I took a photograph of my spectrum analyzer display before most stations in LA shut down their analog signals.
