A few additional comments will probably be posted
about this. After being in a new location for about
a year - I finally got the SS-Tran back on the air.
I built this transmitter when AMT-3000 kits had been
available for about a year.
It was used outside at the old location for a long time.
So I cleaned it up today, got the dirt marks off and took
a bunch of remote cables and some mods off of it and
got it running indoors with a 9 foot antenna.
The 1690 kHz signal blasts through the house and yard,
and goes beyond, I'm sure.
It may be a very long time before I do another outside
installation with a big loading coil, 9 foot stick, and ground
radials. (That was fun.)
So it's running, with music from my son, who is a jazz
musician. I have a bunch of transmitters - but on FM, right
now - I'm using a Whole House 1.0 version board, which I
just fixed. If it's going 50 feet, I'm lucky. It is only meant
for the house and yard. So it's on 107.9. If I go out to the
car radio in the driveway I don't hear it on the car radio. Instead -
I get a Boston 107.9 eighty miles away. (I'm in Hartford, CT.)
I just had fun getting the HH Vers. 1.0 running.
I'm not even transmitting very far and yet - this is magic!
I've got a little mixer going. I've got to wire up the
professional on-the-air light that was given to me.
Next thing is to bring the antique radios out and put
them around the house.
A very close friend of mine lives about 800 feet away.
Might he hear it?
I don't know. But this is really great!
