[BC] Why an older transmitter may be a good choice

[Bailey, Scott]

Your going spent more money on keeping that old rig going, than to just
turn around and by a new one.  The higher powered AM stations, I can
understand, somewhat, but an AM at 1 KW, that's crazy!

I know of 2 AM's in this area that are still running tube transmitters.
I was talking to a GM at an AM/FM combo in this area and I couldn't
believe the price he was paying for 4-400's, 807's, just to keep up a
Collins 20V-2.

My studio is with the transmitter/tower site. My AC bill this month was
only 160.00. Gee, I my electric bill at home was higher than that! My
little 1 KW Armstrong box burns way less electric than the central heat
and air system.
