Log perodic
Entrance to the Station
Log Periodics off in distance
Feed Lines and Logs
One side of feedlines and switching
600 ohm feedlines. 100kW is running through these as I take the pic
Motorized Switch
Feedlines and Logs
One side of building (the other side has these too)
Antenna layouts. Stacked rhombics and Log Periodics
One side of audio and transmitter control. Note the Orban 9100s
The other side
The box Curt is pointing at is the frequency control/generator
Control Central
TUBES galore! 100kW Continental modulator section
100kW of Contnental Power. Note some of the other transmitters behind Curt
RF Driver Continental
One tube (!!) 100kW final
A highly modified Continental
Supply Cages
Tunable Harmonic Filter.
50 to 600 Ohm BalUn
One side of transmitter row
Power Supply The plastic was from the series of hurricanes where they lost half of their roof.
Solid State converted transmitter, ready for DRM
Nice shop! and two MORE transmitters
Rebuilding an antenna switch
two MORE transmitters (Does it ever end??? LOL)
Mica sheets cut to go into an antenna switch
P O W E R!! This one (bottom meter) Shows 130kW and ZERO reflected. <evil grin>
Hard to be humble when you are LOUD The alarm goes off when it gets DOWN to 40kW.
I think I need to crop this and put it on my web site
FM??? Pulled out of a station in Jacksonville
100kW comes out of the building
Feedlines, switchs, Log Periodics and DINNER
Stacked Rhombics... and dinner
Transmitter alllll the way down the halls. This is side 2
GATES?? Ya der hey! And 100kW of Gates
Final for the Gates. No longer made. Using a used tube from a decommissioned WWII ship as we speak. This one is a good 3 feet tall.
Continental final with cooling fins
Continental Modulator section
Modulator Nice filament power lines huh?
The wimp of the transmitters... Gates 50 kW
95kW with 2kW reflected. Don't you just feel warm all over?
Bad pic. Repair of the HV output that blew Epoxy is your friend.
Welding shop
Cat walk looking into a HV supply
Harmonic Filter... tunable
KEWL! RF OUT. Balanced, 600 Ohm and screened by copper
HV area
Nice selection of back up parts! Trust me, there are no Radio Shacks close by. And even if there were, do you think they would have ANYTHING these guys need?
Antenna layout again Stacked Rhombics, Log Periodics and curtains.
Frequnecy Generator
Modulators. Note the green hose. Water cooled!
During an antennas and frequency change we got to look into one the of the backs
Lots of plumbing for cooling
Final. Steam cooled. Yes STEAM cooled. Output coil to the right of the tube. Looks black - actually silver corroded
Output coil, tube to the left.
Bringing it back on the air!
Log periodic.. pointed right down my throat. Can you see the zig zag?
