[BC] Power efficiency vs transmission quality

[Brian Urban]

Too true that.  Interlock jumpers were mandatory for working on anything
inside that transmitter.  Fortunately we didn't have many problems with the
10 kW section, other than blown transformers.  Those were a major pain to
change out--on a shelf about waist high and no room to get at those heavy
brutes.  I got where I could pull the 50 kW plenum apart in a couple of
hours (the first time it took all night).
