Work progressed well on the transmitter today.  Klaus finished virtually all the wiring.  Hans installed the tube, blocking capacitor, plate choke and B+ filtering components.  I spent a large portion of my day advising others in doing wiring and building the transmission line which has a rather complicated bend.  I also installed the balun capacitors (with some help lifting the assembly into position) and HV cable.  We are looking for the instructions for making the stress cone to finish the HV cable connection.

I decided to check the wiring on the SSM modules to see that the bellville washers were installed properly.  Its a good thing because, although the washers were OK, the connections we not as tight as they should have been.

Hopefully the shims under the bottom trim pieces will be done tomorrow as there was too much activity around the transmitter to get it done today.  Also, all 192 connections to the SSM modules will need to be tightened tomorrow — a big task.  Also hope to start installing the modulator doors, when the transmission line is completed.
