I left the house at 6AM this morning and drove 200 miles to Winchester, Virginia to retrieve the Collins 20V-2 that was given to me. The station went QRT Monday and yesterday all 4 320' towers were dropped by cutting a guy anchor. I was sad to see the destruction of a 60 year old AM site just so a housing project can be started. The 20V-2 is in fine shape, a few obvious thing need to be addressed....and it has 48 years of dirt to be dealt with.
Here are some pictures of today's exploits and I will post some more tomorrow after I unload the truck and trailer. http://www.dxham.com/2008-11-22/ Notice the nice wall of Collins 2 Antenna tuning units in 20v cabinets, the 20v-2, the far end is a Collins FM transmitter all tubes. While I was there today I was offered a Harris MW-5 AM TX ( 5KW Ceramic tubes, Solid state exciter ). It is up for adoption if anyone has the desire. I have no interest in it. TX is located near Washington, DC it is BIG and HEAVY. 73, Al K3TKJ ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
