[BC] Tube and transmitter design

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

It's good that somebody is making something of that old
station. It has good coverage all along the beaches even
into Connecticut because the transmitter is in a salt-mash
on the Paukatuck River right near the ocean. Having
it just be a NPR clone was a waste.
