It was donated by Cindy Hovdesven of [[wikipedia:Stanwood,_Washington|Stanwood, Washington]] in 1997 and transported to the museum by [[Don Ostrand]].

Normally a Model 6-B would be used with two large motor generator sets for power, which are not part of this display. Radio announcers using this transmitter would have used Western Electric double-button carbon microphones which are exhibited elsewhere in our museum.{{Where}}

The transmitter was only only used by KRKO for a few years because it was so difficult to maintain. It was stored in a barn for several decades before it came to the museum.<ref>Oral history according to Dan Ryan who heard it from Ed Mattson</ref>
