[BC] Professinoal Respect

[Harold Hallikainen]

35 years ago, when then class 4 stations were only allowed 250W at night,
I had a continual problem with announcers not changing power at the right
time. We had it as a program log entry, which they were constantly looking
at, but they still forgot. I put an Intermatic mechanical timer at the
transmitter site to force it to night power at the correct time. It worked
pretty well. No computer!
