I put WPGS AM 840KHz, Mims on the air in 1986 with KFEQ's old Gates
250GY. It meant very little tuning and they sold it for $600.
We knocked them off the air getting it out, with their tech present.
Caught some wires that were in the way. Took a few minutes to patch
that up.
They're good folks because the owner had an offer of more $ than he
agreed to sell it to me over the phone a few days earlier.
Midwestern/plains states character - impressive.
When the Florida AM station scrapped the 250GY, it made the local Hams
mad because they had some great plans for that old box.

PS, Many Gunsmoke episodes have Marshall Dillon taking a prisoner to
"Hays City" to be hanged.
