Hi all!
My employer is wanting to sell three old broadcast transmitters, a nearly
impossible task. One is a 250 watt RCA from 1949, another is a Gates 1 KW
transmitter using 833s, and the third is a huge Gates 5 KW from the early
sixties. The 5 KW is on 1460, the 1 KW on 900, and the 250 watter is on
1240 kHz.
My employer said "Surely some radio station would want one of these for a
backup transmitter." I said, only a station in some poor South American
country. Museums do not want them, so amateur use is the only possibility
I see.
The RCA probably weighs 1000 pounds, the 1 KW Gates twice that, and the 5
KW probably 3000. Shipping is impossible.
These transmitters are located in East Kentucky. If anyone would like to
make an offer on one of these, please email me directly.
73,
Paul K4PDM
