[AMRadio] Broadcast Processors

[John Lawson]

   I have heard anecdotally, from more than one CE and BCE - (including the 
gentleman from whom my BTA-500MX came) - that in the early days of Hip-Hop 
and Rap - with the emphasis on relative loudness and low-end 'thump' - 
many faithful modulation transformers died in the crossfire between 
Program Directors and the Laws of Physics.


  The one in my rig is the original 1957 RCA, as is the Mod Reactor - but 
the power tranny is a Dahl. It came from a more rural/agricultural market, 
so it sidestepped the Urban Sound, and was taken out of service in the 
early 80s anyway.

Now it's safe in my garage, and I promise to keep the under-40 htz 
excursions to a minimum during QSOs on 75!

Cheers
