Radio North photos taken during a visit to the station in October 1991. In may we had visited Radio North in Muff, but by October they had moved the caravan out into the country somewhere. The studio was still in the caravan, with an FM link out to the remote MW site. When asking "Patsy" if we could see the transmitter, he agreed to take us out. These Irish built transmitters were always great to see, and each one a masterpiece in itself. Hearing the audio of the station through the modulation transformer was always an attraction over commercial transmitters who's physical noise of operation may not have been so loud.

It is hoped that after all these years, the presenters have no problems with their photos appearing on this archive site. Any problems there may be, feel free to contact us.

 

 

 


The home made tuning capacitors of the output stage!!

 

 

 

 

The photo on the right shows a piece of firewood below the tuner. This was what the output coil was wound around, but sadly our poor camera work failed to take a photo of the coil!!

 

The same place, but a different transmitter. This one is a 4 by 4, while the one in the first set of photos is a 2 by 2.
