WKML Broadcast Station

WKML Broadcast Station is located in the North-West of the Capital Wasteland, situated South of Fort Constantine, North of Faded Pomp Estates, North-West of Silver Lining Drive-In, West of Drowned Devil's Crossing and East of Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel. It is the source of Signal Kilo Bravo and the location for the Bobblehead: Explosives.

The Bobblehead is actually located in a small sewer around the back of the structure, below the rockline, south of the building. It appears on the local map as the "Sealed Cistern". It is one of nine Drainage Chambers (or Sealed Cisterns) that can broadcast Morse code.

After going up the stairs to the WKML building, go directly behind the station, and drop down one level. You'll see "Sealed Cistern" show up on your local map at this point. Drop down to ground level and you'll see it tucked alongside the rocks. (More detailed directions below.)

Inside is a very short passage with a desk. On the right side of the desk, you'll see the bobblehead. Along with the Bobblehead, you will find the following: one RadAway, two bottles of Purified Water, one Stimpack, one Rad-X, a .32 Caliber Pistol with 5 rounds in a box, a Stealth Boy, a Fission Battery, and a Lunchbox.

If you turn the power on to the antenna, your Pip-Boy will detect the radio signal.

There is no notable loot inside the station itself.

Outside of the station is a known location where a random encounter may take place. It is also possible to find about 10 alien blaster rounds around the outside of the structure. (?) (Is the number of alien blaster rounds random? I found 16 in a couple of minutes; seems to be easier to find them at night. L3mst0r 22:55, 4 February 2009 (UTC))

Notable Loot

 * The Bobblehead: Explosives is inside a sealed cistern which can be hard to locate. There are three broadcast towers. When going up the stairs to the station, there is one just to the left of the stairs which is the middle one of the three. Go to the leftmost tower, which is left of the Radio Tower Complex. From this tower, head directly south-southwest and take a moderate fall to a lower level. The sealed cistern is on this same level, to the right. From here, the sealed cistern will also show up on your local map.


 * A Grognak the Barbarian comic on a table in the makeshift shack just a hundred or so feet directly south east of the broadcast station. Easy to see the shack from the WKML Broadcast Station.

Bugs
Do not take followers into the sealed cistern. Dogmeat tends to block the exit and Charon may die on exit for no reason. Charon may lose dialogue options. Fawkes had no problem entering or exiting the cistern.
