Site Comments:
Situated along the ridge dividing San Ramon from San Leandro and Oakland sits the site named Wiedemann Hill. The facility is now under ownership of Pinnacle Tower according to signs on the fence.
The antennas are manufactured by Gabriel Electronics and are called "The Horn." They are TH-10 antennas.
I had the opportunity to check out the inside of the facility and all remnants of Sprint have been removed. The current occupant is a television company. The facility is two stories with the top story being the radio room and really isn't as large as it seems. There is a half-room on the bottom for the air ventilation system. The facility is sheltered by an outer wall which is what you see below.
