It was simply a rebroadcast/broadcast translator transmitter of New York City's WNBT (NBC 4), and broadcast on UHF Channel 24 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It went on the air on December 29, 1949. (See the article entitled Ultra High Frequency.)The station's launch was code-named "Operation Bridgeport", as a test by RCA and NBC, to determine if the UHF spectrum was feasible to use for communications and broadcasting.The station used a 1 kW transmitter with an 20-dB gain antenna on a 210-foot tower elevated 450-feet above average terrain. This resulted in an Effective Radiated Power of 10kW.
