Low quality, but read the description on the youtube videos for information on what you are seeing. I may add more videos in the future. This is just for fun. Yes it's a bit weary to post pictures or videos of pirate radio gear online, and everyone should remember that, however I rarely run the station anymore and figure the videos and pics one day could inspire others which would mean more to me than the risk involved with showing the behind the scenes. Besides few if anyone knows about these forums besides ourselves...

BTW before anyone asks, yes that Colt meter is for CB radio, however I calibrated it to work for FM broadcast via turning an internal POT inside and matching it with a proper meter.
that colt is a classic meter, got one in my big truck
nice setup
I don't recall where I picked up that meter but to use it on VHF FM 88-108MHz I had to recalibrate it since its designed frequency response was 26MHz for CB.
The diodes in mine went bad after a while which made the SWR reading on it get way out of whack so I eventually had to replace them. Not sure if that was a cause of pushing 10 watts of VHF through it or if they just got flaky from old age but if your SWR measurement does the same some day maybe this info will help you.
