[BC] I repent

[Robert Bowe]

I have a BFM-8000 sitting right behind me (I kid you not) that has a 
blown final.  We replaced the BF25K this past summer with a Continental 
and the BF5K is still online as a backup with an Continental exciter - 
replacing the BFM810 that I inherited and was glad to retire.
