Aug. 1, 2011 - In McKinney, Texas, edging near the city limits of Dallas and almost a border blaster with Mexico, four transmitters beam two radio formats for thousands of square inches.

We've heard it all before. He's enjoyed low power since childhood starting with a phono oscillator, worked his way up to HAM but still messes with loading coils and 3-meter antenae. Brian joins Carl for another great low power visit. Look at the cool coil!

Overall view of whole assembly
in a Toro sprinkler contoller housing.

The inductor coil has a half-inch bare strip

which gets tuned by the brass stylus, like playing an Edison cylinder.

Not a broken umbrella, no.
It's a 10-foot high copper pipe antenna with side-wise extenders being the "cap hat."

Close up view, calling attention to the black box which houses a tiny
grain-of-wheat bulb which lights when the antenna is tuned to resonance by the coil mechanism.

From Columbus, Ohio, Radio8Z writes

Hi Carl,

While listening to your program about the CarTunes adventure I was inspired to dig out my KnightKit Broadcaster. This is the one I used while in High School and College to broadcast to neighbors. At that time the "station" was on the air for about five hours in the evenings and longer during the summer. The programming was primarily music which I recorded off the air via reel to reel tape and my own records.

Now and then a couple of neighbor kids would join me in the studio and we would carry on about this and that. Their parents usually would tune in so we knew we had listeners.

I attached a picture of the transmitter which still works. You might notice that the tubes are glowing. I modified this transmitter very early on by adding a crystal to control the frequency so I didn't wander about the band. You can see this add-on in the rear of the chassis near the oscillator.

I enjoyed your program and look forward to "tuning in" in the future.

Regards,

Radio8Z
