Steve, the KWFM office (if they have a studio, it is probably a microphone and a box in a closet) is at St. Phillip's Plaza at Campbell Avenue and River Road. The transmitter site is in NE Tucson just southeasterly of the Ventana Canyon resort area. Punch 32.314N, 110.838W into Google Earth. I am 3.3 miles due south. I used to listen to KFAT during my college years and always looked forward to going to Hawaii for Radio Free Hawaii (FM I believe) sometime after that.
