[BC] Noisy transmitters

[Kent Winrich, K9EZ]

We were co-located with an Armstrong transmitter from another 
station....talk about jet engine!  They moved out a couple of months ago 
and I thunk I am beginning to get my hearing back.

I spent a morning after we had installed it, changing the remote out. After two hours, I went to get lunch and realized my ears were ringing badly. Got a set of hearing protectors, and now wear them while in that room.
