LBA’s professionals are mostly unsung when they accomplish these missions. Kathryn Tesh and the LBA team recently set straight a cellular tower detuning project in the Pacific Northwest, saving the cellular customer considerable money in the process. So it was a [...]  Providing an AC feed to strobe lighting systems on high power AM towers can be problematical. The ring-type chokes often used for tower light feeds on high voltage towers often do not function well under the low pulse loads of stroboscopic lighting systems. These problems can cause overheating and burn out of seemingly adequately rated [...]  LBA has partnered with Balboa Capital Corp. to provide lease financing plans for LBA Technology RF and test equipment resellers and customers.
