[BC] ITA

[Robert Meuser]

A 3 letter call heritage station has a 50 year old antique as a back 
up?  5K boxes are pretty cheap and a second solid state TX after all 
those years is not unreasonable. At the minimum this is really bad 
accounting and very bad engineering. If they bought an SS box when the 
technology was new, that ITA TX would be about 30 years old. That unto 
itself is bad business. Using that scenario they would have a 20 year 
old SS TX so both TXs use obsolete parts. This is no way to run a radio 
station. What is their problem?
