[BC] Power Glitch on Mt. Wilson

[Mike McCarthy]

There has to be more to the story that what we know here.  I can't imagine 
ABC not investing in backup equipment there.

They have a jet turbine powered genset here at Sears to keep at least one 
TX going as well as newly built 2nd site at Hancock.  You don't see jet 
turbines driving gensets except in very rare applications.  And trust 
me...this is a rare application if I ever saw one.  So ABC is not afraid of 
finding creative ways to install back-up equipment at unusual installations.

Like I said, there has to be more to this story....
