Congrats John! If I can ever figure a way to get my BTA-1R2 in the
shack maybe we can burn a trail between Dallas and Carson City!

Thanks entirely to the strenuous efforts of Mike KO6NM and a non-ham
friend of his, I am shortly to take delivery of a (pretty nice, I'm
told) RCA BTA-1MX broadcast transmitter.... this is the early 50s
single-cabinet 1KW rig with the lateral-sliding front door - a pair of
833s modulated by another pair - and a brace of 807's handling the
driver and oscillator duties. I'm also told that, sometime in it's
life, the original RCA power tranny woofed it's cookies, so that was
replaced with one of those low-class, awful Peter Dahl jobs.
But I decided to go ahead and take the rig, regardless.
Now - gotta do a 1000-mile round-trip (Carson City -> Los Angeles ->
Carson City) and fetch it back up here.
And, I'll document the Progress as it goes - I have a nascent
website just for my boatanchor stuff - time to dust it off and get it
active.
Cheers
John
