[BC] Worst 'engineering' ever seen

[Margaret Bryant]

When I was in San Antonio almost no STL frequencies remained available. 
Some careful planning was required and I had to change the polarity of a 
recently installed grid dish at the studio end. I called the local tower 
guy to come do it for me. In no time he was back down on the ground and 
said he was done. I said that he couldn't have done it in that short of a 
time. I went out to take a look. Yep, he'd turned just the element and not 
the whole dish. When I told him he had to turn the whole dish, he then 
understood why I was surprised that he'd finished so fast! (He was also 
obviously a new employee of the tower company!)
