Jim, I would think that this transmitter ran more than 5 KW

Howdy,
I don't know the BTA-5T, but Brad KB7FQR has the BTA-5F, and I have
posted pictures of his setup at
http://eshop1.chem.buffalo.edu/KB7FQR-Page.html
WARNING ***** Large Picture files ***** Dail-up folks may not want to
view!

Bob, did you get some pictures taken so I can see this transmitter
before coming down to York?
If you recall, I live near Johnstown, PA
Thank you

Many months ago I posted on the list that I had an RCA BTA-5T to get
rid of.
A few people responded, but after a crashed drive, I've lost names,
etc.
So here we go again..
I have to get rid of our good old BTA-5T.
It's absolutely free, BUT you have to remove it from the building.
And I've now been presented with a May 1st deadline.
The 5T is a 5KW/1KW switchable rig with 3 phase power.
The rig is in operating condition, currently tuned to 910 kc.
Until recently, I've run it for an hour every few months or so.
There is a single 5762 in the PA.
This one has been modified with 3CX2500 modulators (by WD8DAS of this
list
when he was C.E. here)
I found a link to this information sheet on the National Radio Club
site
http://www.nrcdxas.org/articles/bta5t/
If you're interested, contact me via email.
Or if you're REALLY interested call me at 717-515-0607
It would break my heart to get to the point of cutting the old girl up.
I grew up listening to it.
Won't someone give it a good home?

Subject: [AMRadio] Antenna current
I just built a Zepp antenna with tuned feeders: length of antenna is
247
feet with 45 feet of feedline using 5 inch spreaders.
Why am I getting more antenna current in one lead than the other? I
inserted an RF meter in each feedline before the antenna tuner. I
believe
that the current was about 1.5 and 1.7 R.F. ampere respectively at
3.870
Mhz.
Thank you
