QZVX is funded, in part, by financial contributions from our readers. The QZVX mission is to give you the best information possible, FREE for everyone to enjoy! Domain lease, web-hosting, fixing bugs, and developing new features, are crucial for this mission. That all comes with a cost to us. If you get value from reading QZVX, please help support it.
Our reader contribution goal is roughly one-third of the total cost of web hosting & domain charges ($1425). QZVX renewal funding in total will cover those costs through January 2029.
We are almost to our goal. To those who have given to the cause…
No one from QZVX would ever call you seeking donations. Earlier this week, one of our employees, looking for ways to hedge against his losses if QZVX down-sizes, was selling hand-made catheter bags by cold-calling from our writer’s room.
We apologize for any confusion and did not condone Natty Bushkin working a side gig from our building. The phone has been removed from that office.

I’ve made references to this picture here previously when discussing ‘remotes’ & early live broadcasts in Seattle. I’m absolutely captivated by Arthur Daileys mobile broadcasting station & wonder if he was transmitting directly onto assigned 1370 kc/s. I always get the impression that KVL was a one-man operation but could be wrong. I also wonder how he powered this equipment as generator/converters to change from 6 or 12 volts DC car batteries to higher AC voltages wouldn’t have been available at the time. I suspect the technically skilled Mr Dailey must have created such a device, if indeed this gear is being powered by car batteries. In any event, it’s a technical marvel for it’s time!

I wish I knew what the grey unit in the vehicle was. Looks like something with a motor. MOHAI or the Hall of Radio History may contain more information on Dailey’s remote broadcast facility.
