I read on another list, and saw on the news, that a tower crew replacing guy wires at KBRT was apparently responsible for this fire. The power poles feeding the site are reported to have burned away as did the telephone lines providing audio to the station. The transmitter is reportedly running on backup generator. They were anticipating returning to the air today (Saturday) with audio provided via CDs while a satellite link is being established. From what I've read in the past I think KBRT still has a resident engineer living at this site. They appear to have low power night authority. I would be tempted to wonder if they might operate on high power for a few nights providing local info. On the other hand, if they are relying on generator power for an unknown period, they will probably want to conserve fuel.
