[BC] Re: Super Modulation and distortion

[Bob Groome]

I was involved (as field tech) in the Harris
BC-5HA at the Woody Sudbrink station in Maryland.
Mostly talk as I remember, and comfortably put
out 160% positive. And is sound quite good. The
commercials did not sound bad either (music on
them, that is). They did go through the plant and
polarize all the mics as best possible and had
the Gates limitere with the auto flip over relay
that keep the higher peak as Positive.
