How To Take Down 48 Radio Towers

There goes another piece of the shortwave era.

Clearing the way for wildlife and Part 15 expansion.

A story about radio towers... and the reporter's name is Ariel?  Too funny.

My brother and I used to listen

to the programs in "Special English"

when we were kids.

And there was the Voice of America

Jazz Hour with Willis Conover ?

The highest VOA frequency I ever

heard was 26.040 MHz in the 11 meter

SW broadcast band.  I wonder where that

transmitter was?

Here is another one, in the Netherlands, a medium wave (675 kHz) antenna almost 200 mtr high.

I hate to see those big medium wave

towers go down.

I one heard the BBC on 693 kHz here

in the U.S., Connecticut.  Actually, several

times over the years.

I think those are all gone now.

(By the way,  why can one hear

the BBC on medium wave on the

east coast of the U.S. for a couple

of nights, and then there is nothing

for what seems like a couple of years...

And then it is there again for one night,

and then a couple of years go by, and

there is nothing...  Etc. Etc.)

I know some of the mechanisms involved,

but it still seems like quite a mystery to me.

Seeing tall towers fall down calls for gray clouds, steady rain, a case of wine, and a tragic Mahler symphony.

Followed up by a small group of sympathetic nurturing women sent in to administer little food snacks and cheery smiles.

Topped off by polka music from Bovey, dancing, and frivolity until all hours.

They'll never take my tower.

BAMBOO?
