This is the last of 17  Harris 10 KILOWATT Transmitters from the AT&T Pennsuco Fl. Station { WOM } Transmission Site that have been dismantled and sold.  These transmitters were operating and taken from service as the site was taken out of service.

AT&T had 3 sites that had these popular Harris 10KW HF transmitters, Ocean Gate, NJ  { call sign: WOO }  Dixon,  CA  { KMI } and the Pennsuco, Fl site { WOM } This transmitter came from the Pennsuco, Florida site and was one of the later versions of this transmitter.

The Ocean Gate site has been preserved by the local Township,  the Dixon site is no longer ,  and now the Pennsuco site has been sold to land developers and completly dismantled.. and this is the last of these transmitters.

This transmitter uses the very popular Eimac 4CX15000A tube for the final PA stage, this set INCLUDES  a rebuilt Eimac/Econco tube that was reported to have 2-3 months of operation on it and was just tested by Econco as good.  The 740-M set is full AUTO TUNE and in fact easier to tune in the auto tune mode than manually,  and a whole lot quicker... 

This link will take you to the Ocean Gate, NJ website and you can prowl around this very nice and well done site created by Albert LaFrance ..  see:   http://long-lines.net/places-routes/OceanGateNJ/   and scroll down till you come to INTERIOR-SECOND FLOOR EAST  " Addition " EQUIPMENT ROOM ..

These pictures pretty much show these Harris 10 KW sets as they were installed much like at the Pennsuco site,  the big difference being the Pennsuco site [ late 1970's ]  WOM was built much later than the Ocean Gate site ..

These sets normally require 3 phase electrical power for operation, any voltage and combination of 50/60hz is all selectable by the interior auto transformers..  Some owners have converted the sets to 1 phase operation, with little difficulty.. 

The set offers a 3 setting power output selection control setting of 1.25kw, 4kw or the full tilt 10kw power position..  If you are an amateur operator, then you must be aware that these last 2 power settings would not be included in your operating power limits, under part FCC 97 .. The transmitter operates on any frequency between 2 and 30MHz in any of the modes stated..

This set weighs about 2400 pounds and measures right at 40" deep 78" high  and 72" wide..

As they were presently set up, the transmitter is attached to a 1 piece skid/base combination, using 3 cabinets, these can be removed from the base and reconfigured to eliminate the middle cabinet completly,  the I box and exciter and IPA amp can be mounted into any normal rack cabinet,  then that would leave the final PA cabinet to be a stand alone unit ..but again you can do this any number of ways to suit your own site needs or space requirements..  

This transmitter will operate on AME, USB. LSB, ISB, and CW/DATA modes.  4 channels of information can be transmitted in the ISB mode. The IPA is very simular to the more common Harris RF-110A  1 kw amp that uses a pair of the 4CX1500B tubes.

This transmitter can be loaded here with little difficulty and many of these sets have been shipped overseas in a  20' ocean container. Within the US, open trailer, common carrier trucking ,  u=haul car trailers .

The transmitter will come with a full set of manuals, books, instructions, it all adds up to about 3 very thick books...  The transmitter will be shipped by itself.  The  4CX15000A tube and the manuals will be shipped separately.

This transmitter can be operated exactly as received as they were all working transmitters when the Pennsuco site was dismantled. Or you could take the unit back to its original wiring configuration, because of special AT&T monitoring that they required in this installation...  just operate it in a straight simple scheme as they were supplied and away you go ..  keep it simple ..

The fact is that these transmitters had every kind of fail-safe scheme known to man to safeguard the operators as well as to protect the equipment from problems along with special wiring required by the ship-to-shore AT&T usage required by their mission.  As usual, RF Harris built extremely professional broadcast equipment and this transmitter is no exception.

Shipping is your responsibility.  We will help to find the least expensive and best way to transport the transmitter as shown to your location, but we will only make suggestions, as the responsibility of shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  This transmitter is stored in a commercial warehouse in the Dallas, Texas area that can provide a fork lift for transportation loading. It can be loaded into a dock high truck or loaded into a trailer or other method of transportation of your choice, all at your expense.

Uses of this transmitter range from Amateur (Ham) use, to experimenter, to broadcast applications.  There are many of these transmitters in operation every day on the shortwave broadcast bands as well as in Amateur use.  As is the case with all older equipment, Radio Era Archives makes no warranties or representations other than what we have printed in this description.  We have not powered up this specific transmitter but believe that properly installed, will operate just as it worked for AT&T.  We did have Econco test the primary Eimac 4CX15000A tube and tested it as good.  Remember, these transmitters were operating when the Pennsuco installation was shut down by AT&T and the Pennsuco site was sold to developers.

NOTE:  This transmitter is not for the faint of heart, but will provide a challenge to any who have not experienced a real broadcast transmitter, superior engineering, and its operation.  Needless to say that the high quality of the transmitter will be a pleasure to work with and to operate and should provide many years of service, just as it has done so for AT&T in their facilities. And you wouldn't want to know what these cost when they were new!  OUT OF SIGHT!  So the low price should shock you into action, as the first order gets it.  This transmitter was sold from our website, not Ebay as was earlier said where we would sell it.   

This transmitter sold for $ 2,900.00!  An unbelievable bargain

SORRY, THIS HAS BEEN SOLD AND THERE ARE NO MORE
