Yup, and one was sold to WKLA, Ludington, Michigan. That 
transmitter could not go over 40% modulation without running 
over 20-50% distortion. I spent a lot of time working with 
clueless people at the factory who could not tell us 
anything. Factory sent their "best" out to the site, and 
left the transmitter worse than when they came in.

	So, just how many did Cetec-Sparta sell, and how many were 
still on the air 18 months after they were bought?

	tom, I was there, bosscher
