No one talks about the frequencies that were used with these huge horn antennas. Based on size, waveguide and technology at the time 2 GHz, 6 GHz?

So glad I found this video. I really love the horn antennas something about how ominous they look and reminds me when I was a kid always on the hunt for these things.

This is incredible, what would good to see is if people that know how all these units work would be documented and explain what they do as well as the details of its design and mechanincs. It could be archived for history on youtube

This is so cool to see! when these were operational were the repeaters manned? I am curious if they still work? Also how close is the nearest town to this particular one?

Where exactly is this place and what is it called? I would absolutely Love to go to this store, because I'm an electronics nerd and I would be in heaven here! We actually used to have a store similar to this in my city up to about 20 years ago when it went totally out of business, because this last generation just doesn't fix or work on or build anything electronic anymore, and as all of the older repair techs and ham radio guys die off, now no-one is interested in buying these kinds of component level parts anymore, so the store like this in my city didn't have enough sales on a regular basis to pay their building rent fees amd so they had to shut down! That was a VERY sad time for me because that store was always one of my regular go-tos for vintage electronic parts of ALL types!... Nowadays you never can tell if you're even getting a genuine original quality part if you order stuff online, and a LOT of this kind of stuff isn't even available online at all because they don't make it new anymore, so this type of store is a LITERAL goldmine for electronics hobbyists and repair techs, if there's anyone out there who's actually still into building and repairing vintage electronic stuff! I REALLY miss the store we had like this in my city, and nowadays there isn't really any place local for me to buy this sort of stuff anymore, which REALLY sucks for me because I'm still interested in all things vintage electronics, including stereo equipment gear, but you just hardly ever even see it anywhere anymore! :( So please do tell where this store is AND what it's called, so some of us who are still actually into vintage electronics can maybe travel there and see and shop at this truly beautiful, and greatly organized (for used and vintage surplus stuff anyway), store! This place is a real treasure, and you're VERY lucky to have such a place in your own city!! (Where is that?)

I happen to own a series 2 And I had it for years working on the railroad. And I restored it 3 years ago. And it's Sits in my collection of vintage test equipment. And my hobby is restoring vintage audio equipment. This is why I know about several. Several electronic stores that are still out there. Because I like to go and get parts from them.

Well, it's not the last electronic store in America. There's Harvey electronics in Spartanburg, South Carolina. There's jayso electronics White Plains road in The Bronx. There's still quite a few out there. If you look so don't claim, there's no more electronic doors. There are still out there old die hard stores.

In Greece there are plenty of electronic stores, but I prefer Mouser, Digikey or Conrad (German). The problem is, usually they do not have what I need, and the owners do not want anymore to search part trays for the 3 resistors I want and the rest of the discretes I requested.

Kind of a wildly untrue clickbait sort of statement that this is the last electronics store in the US. We have one called skycraft in Orlando and there's a place in Sanford called acme. There's a couple of places in Illinois and Wisconsin called American science & surplus. And I bet you those exists there's probably a lot more. That being said Apex does look pretty neat.

All our surplus stores closed. High rents have driven them all out, can't survive as museum with high rents. I neighbor recently passed away and his daughter had a garage sale to clear out all his junk, tons of stuff like this ham radio stuff. no interest by anyone but boomers in this stuff.

I've written my name on the side of a few Western Electric KS series horn antennas when I was a kid. Back in high school, me and my friends would climb some of the old southern new england sites, and every once in a while one of the maintenance workers would pop their head through the platform hatch and scare the crap out of us! 🤣 This was back in the late 90's when they started to transition into new ownership, and have a new purpose. Most of the sites had their horn antennas removed for cell phone and comm service retrofits, but some sites still have them. Lots of cool cold war history in some of those sites.
