I hear ya, Patrick. We had a major rain and wind storm blow through here tonight which damaged our utility power feed coming. So we've been running on the new generator (installed just four weeks ago) since 9:45PM EST. The storm broke a cut-out on a power pole coming into the radio station. The power company wouldn't touch it because apparently it is on our side of the system. So......here I sit in my office, listening to the 1020 khz tone and waiting for the electrical contractors to show up and fix things. I've got both stations running at 1KW to conserve fuel.
