[BC] AM Auxiliary Sites

[Robert Meuser]

1010 WINS and WABC had a 10 K at each other's site as a back up.  Then 
there are stations that upgraded at a new site I had 50KW with 2 TXs and 
10 towers at one site and 10 and 5 KW and six towers at a second site 
(the old site). This was in place for several years until the old site 
become a subdivision. Both sites were maintained, had separate R/C and 
STL systems. It is certainly great when there is a control or antenna 
failure to flip a switch and be back on air.
