Like its big brother, the NV-40 at WVPS, the NV-5 is a very cool transmitter.\u00a0 I am a born skeptic, things like touchscreen displays tend to make me a little nervous, especially on a transmitter connected to a 350 feet tall steel tower right next to the transmitter building.\u00a0 That is the one major difference between WVPS and this site; at Mount Mansfield there are many things between the transmitter and antenna, but in this place, not so much.\u00a0 Even so,\u00a0 Nautel makes a good product, so troubles are not expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
