[BC] Re: Oldest Transmitter still in daily service

[Chriss Scherer]

In 2003 we asked readers to help us find the oldest transmitter in daily
use. In the Dec 2003 issue we noted our finding: a 1960 Gates BC-1T at
WNAH-AM, Nashville.

Once we published this finding, we received more letters disputing this
claim to be the oldest. (Where were they when we asked the first time?) The
follow up resulted in a response from WFLO-AM, Farmville, VA. It uses a
Raytheon RA-1000 from 1947. In Feb 2004 it is the only transmitter that
station ever used since signing on.

That was almost two years ago, and I don't know if the Raytheon is still
going.
