[AMRadio] Western Electric 250 Watter

[David Knepper]

Mark and I had an interesting conversation last evening about the Western
Electric 451A-1.  If anyone wants to see one up close, stop by the CRA
Collins Radio Center.

Does anyone know of such a unit that is still in service or being used on
160 meters?

Thank you.
