 EDN -- 06.06.96 RC receiver hosts two independent switches   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The receiver's decoded 1- to 2-msec output connects to the inputs of IC and IC The retriggerable monostable IC generates a reference-clock pulse, whose width is a function of the R1C1 or R2C2 time constant.
With the time constant set at 1.75 msec, advancing the transmitter's control stick from neutral (a 1.5-msec pulse-width output) to the 2-msec extreme limit causes the D output of flip-flop IC2 to assume logic one on the rising edge of the reference-clock pulse.
You could also use the Q output if the desired extreme limit of the transmitter stick yields a 1-msec instead of 2-msec output and a servo-reversing switch is not available on the transmitter.

Daily transmissions were expected from 3/10/99 but the last recorded transmission was on 27th September when R06 was at Dover.
There are two obvious possible reasons for this - the transmitter may have failed, or the bird may have died and its radio be in a position where no transmissions can be received by the satellite.
It could still be that we will suddenly receive a transmission but it seems more likely now that we will not hear any more.

 A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
Last week, we showed you the sleek new studios and offices that WOKQ (97.5 Dover) and its Citadel sister stations built a few years back, right next door to the spot where the station began back in 1970 as WDNH.
And in what was once the main WOKQ transmitter room, a pair of auxiliary transmitters (a CCA for WOKQ, an old Rockwell Collins for WSHK 105.3) sit ready to carry the load if either station's main site goes off the air.
The transmitters themselves are a Continental 816 for main use and a Harris for backup, along with the usual complement of processing and STL gear, plus the microwave link back to the old tower and on to Mount Washington for WPKQ.
