Title: Longshot.... Brown Boveri ABB Sk55 info request Post by: KD6VXI on September 19, 2017, 03:29:35 PM Anyone have any info on this beast? Problems, maintenance issues, etc?
Really looking for a maintenance manual, instructions, whatever. I realize a half million Watt xmitter is a little bigger than we normally talk about, but I have a need for the knowledge soon, I hope. Thanks, in advance! --Shane KD6VXI Title: Re: Longshot....

Biggest thing I've got to strap with now is a 4cx5k, and I have to put that one together. This request is work related, actually. --Shane KD6VXI Title: Re: Longshot....

AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
That Transworld site had ceased HF, stripped its xmitters for hf and was only doing MW when that article was written. Now, it could be, if TW had some BBC 500k boxes before they stripped the hf room, these may have come from them. --Shane KD6VXI |
