Inside a 1938 Remote Broadcast Van by John Schneider on 12.15.2011 http://www.rwonline.com/article/inside-a--remote-broadcast-van/50869 Here are two views of WWJ´s elaborate remote broadcast truck in 1938. The lettering on the exterior of the vehicle shows the Detroit News radio station´s 960 AM frequency as well as W8XWJ, the call sign for WWJ´s early ultra-high frequency high-fidelity AM "Apex" station, which operated on 41,000 kHz. The interior view shows a shortwave transmitter on the left, with the W8XWJ call sign on the microphone. The nameplate at the bottom says "The Detroit News Radio Transmitter - Power Output: 100 Watts - Freq. Range 1,500 - 50,000 kc. - Designed and built by the staff of WWJ-W8XWJ." (click thumbnail) Photos from the Detroit News Archives (click thumbnail) Elsewhere in the vehicle we can see a number of National HRO, Hallicrafters and Collins shortwave receivers. The wooden cabinet on the right rear is an especially interesting device. It´s a Finch radio facsimile printer, which could be used to receive news bulletins and photographs transmitted by the W8XWJ. (WWJ was one of the stations that experimented with facsimile broadcasting in the late ´30s.) These photos are from the Detroit News Archives.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads Sennheiser Please read and distribute this 15 year research article http://tinyurl.com/5vzg7e Please read my article on SINPO at http://tinyurl.com/yt7qjd ________________________ http://zlgr.multiply.com (radio monitoring site plus audio clips ) MAIN SITE http://www.delicious.com/gr_greek1/@zach (all mypages !!) ........
