I was listening to a Scott Fybush podcast last night. Scott is a guru on radio broadcast sites.
They mentioned a large, multi-station mountain somewhere outside of Los Vegas.
It's notable because it is fed with buried, aluminum SWER.
I've heard of SWER in the Aussie outback, but didn't know of any in CONUS.
The ground array is in the middle of the property. One of the engineers talked about stringing CAT5 to a new microwave transceiver/dish, and when he cut the cable off the spool with his dikes, he got knocked to the floor. Seems the cable had run across the ground array....
Everyone there uses various VFD-ish devices to get the 3-phase needed for the broadcast transmitters. I shudder to think what the 60 Hz un-sinewave looks like.
