CFRX 6070- an easy QSL

Well, the article states that the transmitter was installed in 1983... Probably used, then. The 701 B was built in 1973. |

Guess that's kinda up in the air since the 701B was introduced in 1973 and hard to say whether they continued to make it or not. The company, Elcom-Bauer, continued at its California plant until 1993. CFRX has had occasional problems over the years, and this is certainly not the first time they've been off for a bit. dxAce Michigan USA |

And Paul Gregg of Bauer Transmitters, Inc. states: "The 701BHF transmitter was purchased new by CFRB/CFRX. The 701 series of transmitters began production in 1971 and concluded in 1992 when the plant in Sacramento was moved to El Paso." dxAce Michigan USA |

So the transmitter is, at best, over 23 years old which is pretty ancient considering the advances in technology. Your statement is like saying, "The first Ford was made in 1902 and continues through today." "Early in 1983 the decision was made to purchase and install a new 1 kW transmitter for CFRX. The present transmitter was delivered in December of 1983 and was commissioned December 31. The new facility is located in a room next to the CFRB transmitters. The transmitter was manufactured by Elcom-Bauer of Sacramento, California. The design is basically their Model 701B, with the tank circuit of the final stage redesigned and an RF driver stage added after the standard RF oscillator card. The transmitter is now designated a 701B-HF. It is a classic plate-modulated design and is capable of producing high levels of modulation continuously, as is required for a 24-hour-a-day operation of CFRX." |

Keep talking out your ass, Edweenie! I find it to be quite humorous. dxAce Michigan USA |

Bauer did not sell many transmitters in that era. The 701B was a derivative of a "quick and dirty" model they built to fill the need of about 1,000 class IV stations for new transmitters when the FCC authorized 1 kw for them. I think they sold something like 300 at the time, which was quite amazing. The 701B was simply an old-technology high-level plate modulated transmitter using, if I recall, glass envelope tubes... maybe the 4-500A. |
