Intro: (top)

    We have a T1524/fps118V  V1 transmitter. It was part of the over the horizon radar system at moscow main.
(The xmiter part number faceplate is PN52151assy126101-1 ( -2 would be version 2. see page 854 1-10 table 1.3 of manual).   
Page to keep track of heating facility (hf)  calibration.
Tx Names: 1 through 6.

There is a 100 kw dummy load that can be attached to the output of a transmitter. It includes a calorimeter to calibrate the 60db coupler after the tx output stage.

Measured rf levels  (top)

    We measured the 5.125 Mhz radiation levels using the narda monitor (get model #) while testing the hf transmitters.
These were single transmitter tests.

Dummy load calibration measurements and curves (top)

    Linear fits were done to the calorimeter measurement vs rf coupler output (linear values).
