[BC] WJR Aerial View (pun intended)

[Richard Fry]

Here is a view of WJR's antenna site (my alma mater 40+ years ago).  When I 
was there this was totally open country,  just a few farms around.

The art-deco tx building shows up by the semi-circular drive at the NE 
corner of the plot.  Zooming in, you may see the two short towers supporting 
the "T" emergency antenna.  There is also a shorted 1/4-wave stub for 
1520kHz rejection, made of 1-5/8" rigid line running on supports above 
ground off from the 700' tower (probably not visible here).  There is (or 
was, at least) a spray pond behind the tx building that was the heat 
exchanger for the old WE 407A -- which was the standby in those days (a CE 
317 was the main).

WJR's field strength at a radius of ~ 1/3 of a mile is something like 5 V/m. 
I wonder how all these new neighbors are coping with that??
