[BC] California Fires, How s everyone doing?

[Broadcast List]

I guess I can make this offer here.

I have more than a few FM transmitters not in use at this time.

One is a 1 kW Nautel V-1, all set up for HD.  It is a test  
transmitter, so it can be loaned and not bother me a bit.  It will do  
1 kW of hybrid HD/FM and about 1800 Watts of FM only.  It is designed  
for this kind of duty.  EVERYTHING, including the frequency can be  
set up from the front panel.

I have a brand new Harris 25 kW FM (only) transmitter sitting at  
Harris.  I won't be needing it soon, so anyone can have it right now  
and just have Harris build us a replacement.  There is no hurry on  
getting this one replaced or back.

I have a brand new BE transmitter sitting at BE ready to ship, but I  
don't need it immediately, though I will soon.  It is set up to do  
about 7 kW hybrid.  It is HD ready, but no exporter.  Once again, it  
can be had and you just have BE build me another.  I cannot be  
without this transmitter for long, so an order will have to be  
immediately with BE.

I have a Nautel 10 kW in Placerville, CA.  It was used for nearly two  
years, and works fine.  It is in a concrete precast building, and is  
ready to go alone or in the building.  I figure we are willing to let  
either or both go for 60% of new.

Finially, I have some old stuff around the country, a CCA FM-1000D in  
Forks, Washington, an Armstrong 1 kW near Cincinnati, and two 500  
Watt complete PAs in Dallas.  A public radio station can cry poor on  
any of these.

If we can be of any help in getting someone back on the air quickly,  
please e-mail and we will make it happen.
