[BC] Re: WGUN Westinghouse

[Stan Tacker]

The old KLIF RA-1000 was a great rig.  I installed it at KATT.  When it
arrived from Dallas, it looked as if the guys in Dallas had given it one
last wax job before it left.  I set it to 1140 by popping in a new crystal
and zero-beating it against the existing transmitter.  We were running a
prototype of the Gregg Labs processor on the AM at the time.  I never had
the guts to feed the Gregg to the RA-1000.  Probably would have done fine
with moderate clipping.  

The installation of the KLIF RA-1000 at OKC was one of those "circle of
life" deals.  When I first arrived at KATT in 1976, an old RA-1000 was
laying face down in front of the transmitter building.  A victim of one of
the mysterious fires that seemed to have plagued that site from time to
time.  I salvaged some parts before I had it hauled away.  I never expected
to see another RA-1000 at the site.  Good rig.

That RA-1000 wound up at the old KATT(AM), 1140 in Oklahoma City. I know. I 
was there. Amazing transmitter. Motor driven loading and tuning controls, 
and large enough to walk inside. As I remember, no fans, everything 
convection cooled. I worked when I needed it to, and sounded very good.
