That's the WCSZ, right? I also bet it hasn't been
operated at 50K for a long time. It seems like it
hasn't been at high power for OVER  a year. At *RATED*
power it was audible in Columbia. When the array was
correct it was listenable. It's not been listenable
very well in years. I wish you a LOT of luck!
