We Could Talk About The Weather

"That doesn't matter, of course, since the technology to build such a device was non-existent during the Parthian period."
Well, the Persians built batteries but not "Crookes tubes" even though Eric Von Dannyskin seems to believe in the Dendra light. Interesting how I couldn't put one over on you, take a closer look and you'll see a snake coming out of a lotus blossom in ancient Egyptian mythology.

"Oddly enough, it was one of a few stations with a THIRD backup FM Transmitter. That one was built by Armstrong himself. It hadn't been used in decades, but with the help of the CE and a lot of DPPG, I got it to run 3 watts."
More oddly you managed to find that museum piece and get it to run. That reminds me of Spock making a mnemonic memory out of stone knives and bear skins. What puzzles me is how Armstrong could have had anything to do with WPAT when his experimental station in Alpine was W2XMN which evolved into WQXR. It's easy to get lost on the 82nd floor of Empire, the JDL did and blew up WPIX TV 11 instead of WBAI.

"With no generators what did you use to power up the Armstrong built transmitter ?"
Babylonian batteries?

"But they do."
Hold on there! I said: Last things first, the old NH can't switch to DC anything and still remain part of the NEC. The old NH is a railroad, I said nothing about trains.
"The same NH trains that run on the AC Catenary also operate off the DC third rail when they join the old New York Central Harlem line as Mount Vernon West. It's all 3rd rail DC the rest of the way."
I believe I said something about 3rd rail powering the system after the inverter and before the DC power control. The rest of the way is into Grand Central Station since exhaust fumes are prohibited in NYC railway stations and tunnels.
"However doesn't Amtrack also run along the Hudson Line which is also a DC 3rd rail system ?"
Amtrak has dual power locomotives that run the Harlem Line too, the Hudson Line follows the river upstate and is Diesel. That's the line through Spuyten Duyvil where the garbage train derailed during the last heat wave.

"Godzilla might come. Remember what he did to Tokyo back in the 50's."
1956 to be precise. You forgot how he became asexual and a whole lot meaner and attacked New York in 1998. That came as quite a surprise to the LGBT community, "If Zilla can reproduce all by himself why can't we?"
