Construction of the WOR Transmitter and Directional Antenna System

Radio station WOR in New York City recently moved its 50 kW AM transmitter and directional antenna system from Carteret, N. J. to Lyndhurst, N. J. This paper describes the facilities and design, and the problems encountered in moving to a swamp location in the midst of 12 other radio stations. While not all problems are applicable to every new directional antenna system, many of them are common. The paper details recommendations on construction of a transmitter plant and a directional antenna system, the solution of problems, and pitfalls to avoid.
