Meh...I've seen bigger stations in the rear sections of the more prominent Super Bowler's Suburbans...:whistle:

Once upon a time we had one in Tuckerton, New Jersey, the beast used a 200KW Goldschmitt alternator.

Truth. I hear that now, 5 alternators is passe and they've gone to more along with what basically equals a mobile sub station power grid.

My friend K8IO (ex WD8KMX) was the chief engineer at WLW which means he lived at the transmitter site. There was a time that "the nation station" ran 500,000 watts. I think I could consider myself as Paul's Elmer as i got him interested in ham radio when he was a c'ber on my neighborhood. We got our first phone license about the same time. He did something with it compared to me. He is truly a radio god. That vid showed an awesome curtain array, btw.

I think w2gd may have used one of those for a 160m contest.

Sounds like another N2OO only Bob wouldn't lug that mofo out on Sandy Hook.

John used the USCG station in sandy hook. He beat out W8JI among others. They got a bc site to use this year. Killer signal. John is like the amazing spider man - climbs that mofo like it was an escalator at the mall.

This year's contest info is just a bit confusing. I don't know where the "N2CW club station at the former marine radio WSC site" came from, as I know it that's the South Jersey DX Association W2WSC club station. Then they say it's near West Creek, it's IN West Creek at the foot of Murphy Drive and I should know, I lived in the shadow of the LW tower. I don't know where the idea it's a broadcast site came from, WYRS (LPFM) is a Christian non commercial station located entirely in Bob Wick's basement in Manahawkin.

"John is like the amazing spider man - climbs that mofo like it was an escalator at the mall."

Like the Spider Man who fairly recently did a face plant into the stage John is lucky to be alive after a tower he was installing collapsed and took him down with it. Lucky he landed in a mud puddle when the tower fell on him, DAMN lucky.

That's what they used. Still a broadcast site, even though LPFM.

i have driven by WYRS many many times. my XYL is from Manahawkin.

Manahawkin, gateway to LBI, summer home of horseflies, green heads, mosquitoes and shoobies. Ask her what she hates most.
