Just for kicks, I wrote the GM of KSJB (Rick Pfeiffer) regarding the station’s recent return to the air with full power. His response:
Yes sir the old array was 68 years old and was subjected to a lot of abuse in our high wind state and swampy environment. The old setup was still using open-air feed line. I had a structural analysis done some years back and it was not good. There was also some evidence the Wincharger towers were poorly fabricated to begin with; and prior owners over the decades had overstressed them and done everything cheap instead of good. We rebuilt the whole thing; towers-ground radials-coax. Went with LED lights and a white day/red night light system that eliminates tower painting. We do stream on the net and have a mobile app. Patrick R.
