[BC] Anyone know the details?

[Tom Spencer]

1) Does anyone else know where the transmitter is?

2) Does anyone else have the keys to said transmitter?

3) See also semi-humorous post inre this topic, about the station that 
was off the air because someone at the studio unplugged the remote 
control by Rich Johnson...

4) Next nearest Cumulus engineer probably halfway across the country - 
and couldn't fly, probably because the TSA agent thought his spectrum 
analyzer was a bomb.....
