KYCK Radio
97.1 MHz 100 KW |

January 29, 2009: Here is your intrepid radio broadcast engineer, Mark Persons, reaching deep trying to get the last of eighty 6-32 machine screws installed in the frequency determined PA shorting-plate in the final cavity of a Harris HT30CD FM Transmitter. The station is KYCK Radio Crookston, MN. The transmitter was purchased almost new, but needed retuning to 97.1 MHz. Part of the PA tube socket was rebuilt and reconfigured in the process. It all worked out fine in the end, but it was a bit of a job to make it all happen. |
 |
Jim Offerdahl was busy inspecting a new connector on the Andrew 3-inch Heliax coaxial cable antenna line as a part of the project. |
 |
Here is
Mark Persons, using his new
Agilent N9340B Spectrum Analyzer
to measure the KYCK signal. It is no minor feat to get it to come
out right. You may not recognized this transmitter right away because the face-pate has been temporarily removed from the upper metering panel. |
 |
After the measurement
work, everyone was happy. On the far right is Project Consultant
Jack Hanson. This transmitter is the new main transmitter with the
original Harris FM25K Transmitter moved into standby status. The Sine Systems Remote Control equipment came from M. W. Persons. |

The stories go on and on. Stop in again sometime. I'll leave the soldering iron on for
you. Mark W. Persons Ham WØMH |
