Kites built to raise signal flags and radio antennae, First Company, Signal Corps, National Guard of New York, 1907. The British Royal Navy experimented with kite raising antennae on HMS Good Hope in 1903, using a box kite designed by Samuel Franklin Cody. A 300-foot kite raised antenna increased their radio range from 60 or 70 miles to 110 ...
A radio mast base showing how virtually all lateral support is provided by the guy-wires. The terms "mast" and "tower" are often used interchangeably. However, in structural engineering terms, a tower is a self-supporting or cantilevered structure, while a mast is held up by stays or guy-wires. [1] A mast
At the time they were built, they were the tallest towers used for military purposes in the Western hemisphere. [1] The two masts are also the tallest towers used for long wave transmissions in the Western hemisphere. Since the collapse of Warsaw Radio Mast, they may be the world's tallest structures that are electrically insulated from the ground.

The AN/PRC-77 entered service in 1968 during the Vietnam War as an upgrade to the earlier AN/PRC-25.It differs from its predecessor mainly in that the PRC-77's final power amplifier stage is made with a transistor, eliminating the only vacuum tube in the PRC-25, as well as the DC-DC voltage converter used to create the high plate voltage for the tube from the 15 V battery.
Larkspur was the retrospectively adopted name of a tactical radio system used by the British Army. Its development started in the late 1940s with the first equipment being issued in the mid-1950s. It remained in service until replaced by Clansman in the late-1970s although some elements of Larkspur were still in service well into the 1980s. It ...
In common with the former Goliath transmitter of the Kriegsmarine in World War II, the antenna system of the "Vileyka" VLF transmitter consists of three antenna systems with a central mast insulated against ground from which antenna wires run to six grounded ring masts, where they are fixed by insulators. As at former Goliath transmitter, three ...
The SCR-694 is a portable high frequency two way radio set that was used by the U.S. military during World War II.The SCR-694 provides transmission and reception of AM radiotelephony and MCW or CW radiotelegraphy within the frequency range of 3.800 to 6.500 MHz.
