Big, I mean really BIG, article in the February 11, 2015 RadioWorld Magazine.
You won't want to miss this story about the 250kW Collins transmitter
which was saved from the scrap yard by the combined efforts of the
AWA (Antique Radio Association - http://www.antiquewireless.org/ )
and the Collins CCA (Collins Collector Association - http://www.collinsradio.com/ )
Online version - http://www.radioworld.com/article/awa-saves-a-piece-of-delano-station/274511
This transmitter was rescued from the 'Voice of America Delano California Shortwave Station'
with the rescue crew given only about one week to remove it. A massive undertaking.
It will be on display in the new AWA Museum located in Bloomfield, NY.
