I’m planning to visit the Edward R. Murrow transmitter station for a few hours on Friday (tomorrow). This will be my third trip to the station and I’ll be hanging out with the chief engineer, Macon Dail. I plan to take more photos–especially of some recent transmitter upgrades.<\/p>\n

Any questions\/requests?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you like, I would be happy to ask Macon any technical\/engineering questions you may have about the site and post his replies here on the SWLing Post<\/em> next week.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you have something specific you’d like me to photograph, please ask and I’ll attempt to do so. The only areas\u00a0I’m not allowed to photograph are those dealing with site security.<\/p>\n

Please comment with your questions and requests no later than tomorrow morning!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In case you’re not familiar, the Edward R. Murrow transmitter site is the last BBG shortwave broadcasting site on US soil. Click here for a photo tour I posted a few ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
