I did one step better. I took an old transistor radio and made it into 444 kHz
receiver (it seemed like a nice round number). It was connected to a
comparator that turned on the generator (at WERI-FM Richard-when it was on
Escoheag Hlll). The radio's voiume control controlled the sensitivity.

The one novel idea I remember that Ed had
was to use a cheap AM radio tuned to the low
end of the band to detect static from approaching
storms and trigger the power generator at the tx
site. No more lightning damage at the tx site!
