The  transmitter we got from the back room at WASH when we built WHFS 
102.3 had  a 25 Hz power supply.  The story was that it had been used in  
propagation tests in the 25 Hz part of upper New York state. The story  
continued that it was given / lent by Armstrong to Ev Dillard to get  
WASH on the air from their then-new Wheaton, MD, site.  Of course I  
built a 60 Hz replacement. The 25 Hz supply is still weighing down a  
corner of my garage!  and I do mean weighing  down.....

Armstrong FM Transmitter Company.   Was this company's name  REL,  Radio 
Engineering Labs?
 
I am trying to find some history of REL.  They built FM transmitters  and 
actually built a broadcast quality RPU transmitter in the 150 mHz.  band,   Does 
anyone have any info on this company they can pass  on.
 
I believe the old NY State FM network the Rural Radio Network used  Armstrong 
or REL transmitters?
 
Appreciate any old timer comments.
