Cant say I don't love it.
We have had contact before I think it may have been on vkham.com or maybe on air, think I remember that you also run a Swan?
Like to hear you on the Aussie BA net, its on Sat morn at 9.30 EST (Australia, Sydney) I get on there at least once a month. 7.125mhz.

That's almost outdoors.
See the sunlight coming in the cinderblocks down at the bottom ?
Love the cooling blower fan, with customized suspension, and the specialized earthquake resistant framework respecting potential ground temblors around Quito.

It is an AM broadcast transmitter, not a ham rig. In Ecuador, IIRC.
In broadcast jargon, it is called a "composite" transmitter.

The best feature? No Test Points! Touch it anywhere and you can get any voltage you need!!  |

At least parts access for service is easy! I just replaced the arm tension belts in an Akai GX-747DBX reel deck and it is the polar opposite of this "rig" in terms of easy access.
Before seeing this photo I never thought of using storage shelf units for building a rig, it would be like a standard rack on steroids.

It pales in comparison to Clyde, K4UXK's homebrew transmitter.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed. Easily done in DSP.

I love tha shot of Clyde's 833 rig. Was telling someone about it recently and they looked at me like I was nuts. Well....anyway....
Frank, that beast in your basement looks like a nuclear reactor with the big steering wheel on front of it. You just need one of those big mercury columns on the side to go up and down for effect.
Sgt Anderson is definitely from a time before the Plexi-King age. He had the haircut to match, too!

Great progress has been made on the beast. All the metal work is done and now that yard work is done I'll be getting back to it.
