(Between Celentano and Babes on the south side.)

BTA-500R (my unit),
two phasing units for three towers, BTA-1R
main transmitter. I was told by Bob Balfour, CE of WERA,
that operation was regularly alternated between the two
transmitters.

WERA CRYSTAL UNIT

This sealed container holds a quartz crystal
which vibrates 1,590,000 times per second.
It put WERA at 1590 on the AM dial. A
thermostatically controlled heater inside this
unit holds the crystal temperature to a close
tolerance, holding WERA at a tight tight
precision. It will be replaced by an amateur
radio frequency crystal or variable frequency source.
