That is interesting but Brutal looking.
If I was shooting a low budget Sci-Fi film that would be on the location list.

Thanks Don, That's the first time I've seen any interior shots of the building. They must have had a massive back up generator and substation for that thing. Too bad there aren't any pictures when it was in operation.

Yep, it was located a few km away from the transmitter site and called Chernobyl. |

Russian girls can be very purty.
That DAM thing must have been heard around the whirl!!!
I would have been scared to stand on top of those old antennas after these many years of no maintenance. Brave photographer
I wonder how many cases of cancer were caused by the 10 megwatts of RF?

I'm sure that if you had the right tuner you could make it work on 75 metros...  |

Let's see.......legal limit into a how many dB gain antenna system DUGA whatever??? The area may still be highly contaminated from Chernobyl. The Ruskies are good at destroying the Earth. I know the flames will rise about the USA....but the Ruskies go at it big time!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hu0Hr9eS_ghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAFGx9nU3q4VOZ is a two part series and it's a little scary Fred |

Trust me, it was. And very annoying too. I wonder how many cases of cancer were caused by the 10 megwatts of RF?
I hope you are joking. Some anti-RF whack job will see that and think RF can really cause cancer. |

Hairy pits never bothered me, as long as good hygiene is observed. At times I have even found it to be a turn-on. What I always found repulsive was hairy legs under sheer hose. They should wear those black opaque things.
