P.S. WNAR-AM is not an amateur "plug and play" operation, but a part 15 compliant community radio station.
Modifications to part 15 certified equipment by amateurs is not recommended, or encouraged.
If you are not a fully qualified, experienced, professional, have all the correct test equipment, know how to use it, are absolutely fully aquainted with FCC procedures, conventions, rules, and measurement standards, then stick with "plug and play". It's safer. After all, you are responsible for any violations.

I miss Lansdale. I had family out there up until last year.

It's a shame to see the nice land out there being taken by overzealous developers.<P ID="signature">______________

Yes, Sam, there is very little open space left. I miss it also. I remember all the farmland, horse ranches, and "elbow room". Now it's traffic, shopping centers, tightly spaced townhouses, appartments, office complexes, and more traffic. It seems to be getting more like Philadelphia every day.
Best wishes,

Do you happen to own the spectrum analyzer you used for the proofs? I need to do a partial proof of a new transmitter and I need to verify the repair work on an old transmitter both are within compliance....seems no one around here has one :(<P ID="signature">______________

Dave ran the tests. Contact him, perhaps he will let you bring the transmitters to the calibration lab.
His contact information is on the website:
