The scenario –Frozen Bones- looks very good.
It reminded me, of the existence of such autonomous radio complex:
“Superrock KYOI was located at Agingan point of Saipan island. Both studio and transmitter facilities were co-sited in the same building, a 2,000-square-foot (190 m2) concrete structure designed to withstand hurricane winds of 150 miles per hour and earthquakes of magnitude 3 on the Richter scale. The entire plant was self-sufficient, with its own 450-kilowatt diesel generator and a 2,500-gallon water catchment system with filtering unit and compression
tank. The station had a powerful transmitter, a
Continental Electronics 418-D-2, 100-kilowatt high level plate modulated, with an automatic servo system, allowing pre-tuning of channels in use. Three tubes sat in tanks of distilled water that boiled off into steam and then condensed back into water to be returned to the system.
The antenna system consisted of a complex and elaborate array, composed of 16
dipoles phased together directed towards an azimuth of 340 degrees true. The program of broadcasting consisted of continuous top 40
rock music controlled primarily by a computer audio sequencing system, with automated song title and station identification announcements inserted as required. The same computer system was also used to change frequency 4 times daily, completely eliminating operator error. The music was run from a program automation system, which held up to seven days of twenty-four-hour programming. A time clock was incorporated allowing station IDs and frequency change announcements to be aired at predetermined times. Music, commercials and jingles were all called up from a series of carts also by the computer system.
From its two 170-foot (52 m) towers, the latest in
rock music was beamed to a primarily young Japanese audience of 18- to 30-year-olds from one end of Japan to the other. Among major advertisers supporting the station and its programs were
Seiko,
Sony, and
Air Micronesia.”
EDIT: Correct name Fokin To the name Rogov in order text messages, for the Antarctica 2017 scenario, russians subs.
