I am a board member at the Radio History Society, and my primary role is establishing and operating a replica, vintage radio station at the RHS museum near Washington, DC.
The board recently won municipal approval for a 160m vertical, and I bought one from a company that builds these units for the Traffic Information Service. TIS is an agency that runs those roadside "Tune to 1610Khz" transmitters. The company, MoRad of Seattle, was delighted to take their existing design, fortify it for the 250Watt level we plan to run at, and build the elements to a center frequency of 1900Kc. With minor tweaks, I hope to hit the two crystal frequencies we've got, 1885Kc and 1930Kc. This summer I'll be laying ground radials and building a mounting base for the antenna, and will also probably revive a doublet that I've had up in the past to enable the station to be on 75-40-10. Please listen for us from time to time. We will be on from the facility seen in the video below. (hit the link) If you're on a high-speed internet line, once you're at the link, then hit the "high quality" option tab just below the right lower corner of the video screen. There's no narration just video for now. Mod-u-later, Paul/VJB http://youtube.com/watch?v=46TLmROTTqk Free free to float this link to boatanchors lists and beyond for those interested.
