I began my career i commercial radio in 1966 when I was in high
school. Our transmitter was a Gates BC1-T. 1KW day, 250 W nights.
Back then, thought those were some pretty big tubes until I went to
work for a 50KW AM running a Continental 317-C.
I liked the Gates with the triangular "porthole" window in the front.
Tnx for the memories.
