[BC] A Service Idea: Is there a need (and/or a market) for this?

I think it would be difficult to make this work in just broadcast. 
Disregarding the cost of gas, it is at the minimum a hard two day 
drive from Texas to either coast. Those hours plus the TandE must be 
factored into the business plan. I think there are many local 
operations that specialize in moving equipment that can do it more 
efficiently.

I once moved a 25KW Harris FM TX from the roof of the Hotel Concorde 
Lafayette in Paris France to the US. We disassembled everything, 
supervised the crating, had a nice time in Paris, went home and 
waited for the boat to arrive.

I just think that leaving shipping to the experts is both more cost 
efficient as well as a better use of one's time.

I would think that something like that would be very convenient, even 
with today's absurd fuel prices. I can remember seeing a picture of 
WBRU(FM)Providence's aux rig having to be hoisted out with a crane. 
So something like this would be practical.
