Welcome to the New Gaffeny Hill Enterprises Web Site

Recently Richard Walsh, Chief of WPOP-AM 1410 kHz in Newington, CT, found some pictures he thought I would be interested in.  Well he was spot on.  I was thrilled he saved these before they hit the trash.  Details about the pictures are a bit sketchy but clearly a few are the Gaffney Hill site.

More details and more great pictures to follow as we piece this history together.

Gaffney Hill tower site in the 50's
This photo is the most easy to identify as the Gaffney Hill site. The picture appears to be from the 50's, and the tower behind the building is the one I recall when I moved to the area.

This is believed to be the 429' tower built in Feb 1953 which became the transmitting site for WGLV channel 57

Gaffney Hill served as the transmit station for WGLV. With a microwave relay though the Pattenburg Mountian NJ site, broadcast from DuMont and American Broadcasting Company were now available in the Lehigh Valley.
