[TMC] Project Jernny

[Annette and Peter Murricane]

Has anyone worked on Project Jenny or components thereof?  IF you are a member of YAHOOGROUPS, you can bring it up.  For those not familiar, Project Jenny was a series of Super Constellation aircraft reffited by TMC as airborne broadcasting platforms.  Powered by onboard diesel generators, it had a full broadcasting studio with 2" Ampex video decks, a 10KW AM, 10KWFM, 10KW shortwave and 10KW VHF vestigial sideband (TV.)  A unique feature was the reel antenna stabilised by a 250 pound 'bomb.'  Supposedly developed for ARVN (Vietnam,) it was used to flyover US field sites transmitting three hours of US television in NTSC format.  Judging from crew qualifications, it had many covert applications, especially after VietNam war was over.  I repaired a 10KW compact power supply from it in 1976.   Hmmmmmm.
