Don’t you have to log transmitter power each day?

Been there, know the guy, know the station. For those of you who don't know, I operate a LPFM in our home county (since 2014) 1) Ok, why on EARTH is this viral? Like internationally viral? 2) For all the backstory / scuttlebutt you could ever want (and not even on facebook) : https://www.radiodiscussions.com/threads/wjlx-200-tower-reported-stolen.769741 3) Ok, so chop chop the guy wires, the tower thuds on the ground and you just unscrew it in 10 foot sections just like a rohn25, no? I don't know how "no one" knew it was missing tho. Clearly no one listens to that AM, except for the locals, who say it has been off air for at least 5 years. In my home county we have two licensed AMS, 1340 and 1460. 1460 has been off air for at least 5 years, but never filed as silent and still shows as licensed. 1340 signed off last week - the property had been abandoned, seized for unpaid taxes, auctioned from the federal government (all by the guy currently running it), and now it's being sold for a development of houses. Good for them..... Promise you lots of other AMS feeding fm translators where the AMs are also silent.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck McCown via AF To: af@af.afmug.com Cc: ch...@go-mtc.com Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2024 2:18 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Fw: NBC News: Alabama station in disbelief after 200-foot radio tower stolen From: Jaime Solorza Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2024 12:42 PM To: Chuck McCown Subject: NBC News: Alabama station in disbelief after 200-foot radio tower stolen https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alabama-station-disbelief-200-foot-radio-tower-stolen-rcna137877 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
