[Milsurplus] Low Frequency Operation

[Nick England]

Cheltenham MD was the receiver site - the NSS transmitter was at
Annapolis. During WW2 it used a pair of TBJ 500kw transmitters.

There are great photos of NSS's original pair of 350kw Poulsen arc generators at
http://hawkins.pair.com/nss_birth1.html

and NSS's later 1MW AN/FRT-87 at
http://hawkins.pair.com/nss_birth1.html

Unfortunately I haven't found any of the TBJ installation - anyone? anyone?

cheers.
