[BC] Life at the transmitter shack

[Gary Peterson]

During the years the kids were conceived/born/raised, our home was on a
ridge with three 100 kW ERP FMs and full power TVs on channels 3, 7 & 9.  A
homebuilt field strength meter, comprised of a HP2800 hot-carrier diode, 100
uA meter and about a foot of antenna would peg, most anywhere in the house.

We have two daughters.  Both in good health and both graduated from an
engineering school.  One has a MSEE.  Both are very intelligent (enough to
make me both jealous and proud) and have good jobs.  No grandkids as of yet.
My wife and I are, thank the Good Lord, in good health.  Most of our dogs &
cats have lived to a ripe old age.

We remain in the same house now bathed in RF from six FM and four TV
stations. There may be something to this daughter thing.  :-)

you born at a transmitter site?

thanks.
