[BC] Transmitter failures

[Alan Alsobrook]

Jeff,
Don't be too curious.. surprisingly Nautels can occasionally fail just 
like any other transmitter I've ever met, (hey that's what keeps us 
field guys employed). I Just recently had the opportunity to go from not 
knowing anything about the Amfet-10 to having a pretty good knowledge of 
  it. 2 Fires in 2 weeks will do that I guess, the first fire was caused 
by a cap failure in the output network, and the second fire was caused 
by insulation failure as a result of heating from the first fire. All in 
all I can't complain as this same transmitter is still on the air at 8 
kW, and will go back to full power shortly when a replacement module and 
a couple other parts arrive.
