Description

RFI monitoring truck in Green Bank, 1979. The generator on the trailer was later moved to the inside of the truck. The equipment installed was a spectrum analyzer, NRAO radio and a CB radio. The CB was used to detect power line noise. One could not see the spectrum analyzer from the driver's seat, so the driver had to stop, go to the back of the truck, raise the mast and swung it around manually to look for RFI on the spectrum analyzer.
