The James Millen
Memorial Station is located at the Museum
Annex of the Antique Wireless Association in
Bloomfield, NY. This is the station which was
used by Millen in the late 30's and basically
stayed untouched at his home until being
relocated in 1985. Below are pictures of the
station as provided by John Dilks. This
station has been returned to operation and is
frequently used for AWA activities and events.
If the reader requires further information on
the station and the move they can reference
the AWA's Old Timers Bulletin, Volume 35,
Number 4 (November 1994) or Electric Radio
Magazine issue number 69 (January 1995).
Receiver:
Behind the microphone is an early production
run National HRO receiver. The Receiver was
restored by Bill K3ZJW.
Transmitter:
Comprising most of the three six-foot relay
racks, this 1KW transmitter uses push-pull
204A finals and a pair of 851's in the
modulator. You can see the glow of the 851
modulator tubes in the right-side picture. The
transmitter was restored by Bob W2ZM.
