A very good friend, Richard Haskey, used to go visit a
station, inspect, and then bluster forth with:
"...that's
The Worst I've Ever
Seen!"
In his honor, we present some very
curious sights from around the industry:
-

important. How you keep them is equally important.

voltage, safety around batteries cannot be taken for granted.
-
When Getting on the Air Trumps Neatness

-
A
Towering ... Tower?
Some towers just take your breath away.
-

or -, Chose Your Polarity?
A confusing battery package.
- Dishing
Out Some Unwanted Visitors
Michael Barnes opens a feed horn cover and
finds more than he bargained for.
- The
Different Capacitor to Check
Think the capacitors in
your transmitter can
cause trouble? How about the air conditioner?
- The
Remote HV Reset
When the transmitter is
far away and the breaker
drops, what is the quickest way to get it reset?
- The
Tower that Melted
Radio towers need
maintenance, too. Stations that
try to cheap out on painting and such risk a lot.
