[600MRG] TM1LY and TM100LY Lafayette Stations on the Air.

[Bart Lee]

DR, A photo at the bottom right shows the antenna for the megawatt arc at
Bordeaux circa 1920+.  It looks like a radiating vertical lead system, a
narrow "V" --  into the leading edge of a large rectangular capacity hat,
like a Marconi "T" but spread out. So the towers look to be isolated from
ground and so did not radiate. The direction of emission would be to the
observer (and camera). For U.S. Mid-Atlantic (*e.g.*, Annapolis, MD), the
direction would be East-NorthEast of Bordeaux (great-circle). This could be
verified if there were a lay-out map available of the transmitter and
antenna, but that's what it looks like in the small diagram. There had to
have been a very large ground-screen under the antenna system.
