[BC] Professional Respect - from the other side of the street...

let's start a list:

1) no base current meter
2) unknown base impedance
3) station for sale
4) current owner unwilling to invest the bucks to prove it is making power

I'd say your hands are pretty well tied........if the station had so much as
a known good dummy load, Mr. Contract could at least see if it makes power
into 50 ohms (we'll leave the discussion of how he figures he can do an
adequate job with next to no test equipment for another thread)

currently ongoing situation :)

Say a contract engineer calls with an AM transmitter, that he says won't
make full (i.e., station licensed) power.  He has a multimeter and a clip on
AC ammeter, but no other test equipment whatsoever.  The station is up for
sale, so with due diligence and all, there's a lot of pressure on the
