Ahem! The Biggest Structure On Any Ship In The World.... EVER!! Beat That!

the Ross Revenge really seems to be a beautiful ship - well instead of its former big mast she now has 2 smaller antenna-masts.
But can please someone explain to me what the actual transmitting-antenne is and also what the other wires are for e.g. those 2 square (quadratic) frames ?
Thank-you in advance
alec wrote:Okay Paul - maybe you know or some other technician on here. Do you really need diesel to run a transmitter on a ship - wouldn't solar-celles do it at least for - lets say 10KWs ? This way you could moore the ship a bit outside from a harbour (500mts) - reachable with a little boat - no diesel-costs , no pollution and easy to access ? - and above all no Tx-site problems. - Well it would need huge batteries to save for night-time though. - I don't think a wind-wheel would work - it would destabilize the ship rotating in strong winds...

No idea how many Watts or KWs a square-meter of Photo-Voltaic-pannels can deliver.
When you can install them on roofs why not also on a ship or at a Tx site?
As said - I have no idea about Cost performance ratio.
So it is a pure 'rhetoric' question.

Oh absolutely Alec. I enjoy these discussions. That's why we have this board, right? I remember the discussions we had when we first heard of the return in 2009 of the AM TX. We were discussing how to get the audio to the transmitter. I believe the way they actually do it is close to the outcome of the discussion.
Who knows, we might have helped BigL solving that problem. Wouldn't that be great?

Well, Paul as you said above its a question of the cost performance ratio and how much a pannel of 1 sqm Voltaic delivers
What about a wind-wheel ? - problem raises though what to do when there's no wind ? :lol:
