Same story here!
About 2 years ago the transmitter for my FM commercial station (10KW) went
down VERY HARD!! My full-power backup was also dead due to completely
different problems. So I had to run the station on 75 watts from an exciter.
We received only a few phone calls complaining.
We have two translators, one heard our low power fine. The other was hearing
a different station when we were on low power.
It took me four days to get the main transmitter back on the air (including
replacing the 100 Amp AC 3 phase fuse box!!) The back up transmitter never
did come back to life and was recently parted out. It was a Collins made in
1968!
A few weeks ago, I accepted delivery on a new 10 KW Harris FM/IBOC Split level
system.
