Hi, This was received from a friend who is a contract engineer. I am posting it for the interest of the lovers of really heavy iron and things that glow in the dark:
<<....... I know of two RA-1000 transmitters. The one at WNAK (Nanticoke, PA) is probably repairable, I had it on the air until last Winter, when something shorted. The other one is the old WCNR transmitter in Williamsport. The capacitors have been removed and disposed of, and the transformers are in the old tuning house (I have no idea why or how they got moved there). Both are not "pristine" each had some mods done to them. >> I have actually seen the WNAK rig and it is not a pretty site! It does or did work, but there are gosh awful looking mods hanging all over it. It would put any self respecting ham to shame he had done something like that! For that matter, the transmitter site at 'NAK looks like a set from "Bride Of Frankenstein!! All that is missing are the windmill blades. 73 and keep 'em glowing, John, W4AWM
