History
Founded by a group of radar engineers in 1971, EEC made its public debut in 1972 with the WR-100-3 radar. One was installed at WKY TV (now KFOR) in Oklahoma. The WSR-100-5 was installed at the same station in 1974. In 1975, the production of the WSR-74 line of radars, mostly C-band, began.
It producedcavity magnetron and klystron commercial S and C-Band weather radars began.[1] Also in 1974, EEC was selected by the US National Weather Service to deliver 160 WSR-74 radar systems to replace the older models across the country.[1] Following this, EEC expanded its operations, becoming a commonly consulted private radar company for media radars. Today, EEC is the only commercial weather radar vendor in the US to offer a complete line of magnetron, klystron and solid-state transmitter weather radar systems.
