WJG HF Antenna and Building - 1989
All photos by Jim Pogue
This
was the WJG home and antenna farm in 1989. By this time HF
SSB operations had been scaled back to only 4087.8 KHz, and VHF-FM was
carrying the bulk of the traffic. The ??? foot
tower is topped with several VHF antennas. The VHF-FM system
utilized 13 stations to provide ship-to-shore coverage to Mississippi
River towboats from 50 miles south of Baton Rouge to 30 miles north of
Cairo. The HF log-periodic antenna must have been needed to support
WJG's earlier operation on it's other authorized SSB frequencies which
went up to 12 MHZ.
