            This tower is Antenna Structure Registration 1229046, built in 2003, it says (though it looks older) and now owned by American Tower, as is the big one (tallest on the mountain) a few feet away to the right here.
Details: 
Structure Coordinates: 34-13-57.0 N 118-4-27.2 W (NAD 83)
Site Elevation: 1724.7 meters (5658 ft)
Height of Structure: 48.8 meters (160 feet)
Overall Height Above Ground: 74.4 meters (244 feet)
Overall Height Above Mean Sea Level: 1799.1 meters (5903 feet)

On its top is a three-bay batwing/turnstile antenna that was an auxiliary one for KCBS/2. It left sometime after this shot was taken, gone by 2019, when I next returned. The two-bay antenna on the left side is, I believe, for 93.9FM, which has been....
KPOL-FM (1958–1978)
KZLA (1978–1979)
KZLA-FM (1979–1984)
KZLA (1984–2006)
KMVN (2006–2009)
KXOS (2009–2019)
KLLI (2019-)

It moved up here from Flint Peak in the early '00s, I believe. The station's main antenna is elsewhere now, while it has an auxiliary antenna on an aux master on a new mast above.
