Hello all:

I'm a new subscriber to this list, but not new to broadcast  
engineeing. My career dates to 1959, got my first phone when I was 17  
and my first CE job at 18 at a whopping Class IV 250 watter. Paid my  
dues and ended up solo contract engineer for a 50 KW, 9 tower array.  
I've built recording studios and remote trucks and non linear editing  
facilities. I am retired now and I didn't get a gold watch.

Here's my problem. Late in life I have become a HAM radio operatpr  
and you know what? I like AM best.

I want. I NEED. I want and need an older one KW or less AM  
transmitter for conversion to the 160 and 80 meter ham bands. I'd  
like a Gates, RCA, Bauer, McMartin, yes, even a lovely Collins rig to  
grace my garage, which in the summer will have the same amount of  
heat that some of those tin roofed dog houses had. There were plenty  
of brands and there have to be a few left out there in secondary  
backup status or needing some repair.

If you have any leads, I'd appreciate them.

Thanks to all,

Rodger Hough
