Well letsee.......Popular Electronics Mag (no longer in business)
published an AM transmitter article for use on the BCB. It was housed in a
steel mail box along with the antenna network and antenna out the top of it.
It was meant to be mounted outside with the power and audio remotely fed to
it. Letsee that article was published in 1962 as I recall........As a
broadcast engineer I would be really critical of what the "Bells and
whistles" were.


Broadcast Engineer? I started in that field in 1973 and have worked
in TV and AM radio until last year. It was awarded as a civilian
acquired skill when I was drafted in '72. I have worked up to a 5 MW
ERP UHF TV site with a 1749 foot tower. I started with '40s tube
equipment and worked up to state of the art RF and studio sites. I like
a good design, but then I got spoiled working on $80,000 radios and
building multi-million dollar telemetry receiving systems. I don't need
another transmitter around but I would probably build one with a MC1496,
or one of the newer Analog Devices four quadrant multiplier chips if I
changed my mind..
