[AMRadio] RCA BTA-1R1 Available in Washington State...

[Dino Darling]

I posted a request to a "repeater" group for help in tuning up a 440 
repeater.  I don't have a service monitor.  I got a response from the 
engineer for KFI here in Los Angeles!  I took the repeater to the 
transmitter site (location of the 750' tower in Los Angeles) and proceeded 
to get a tour of the site!  The Harris 50KW was plugging away, but I wanted 
to see the real transmitter!

He even flipped the switch and I got to see it glow (modulator 
tube)!  Since the solid state unit was operating, the tube transmitter was 
switched in to a dummy load in the next room.

All I can say is WOW!  I really really really want an old AM transmitter in 
my garage!
