[BC] Formatics

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Lucky for me I've either worked at non directional AM stations or the AM's
changed power/pattern automatically by machine.

I'm kinda glad I never had to do any of this.

I thought we originated that concept in York. When our pattern switch
relay failed, we used this method for several weeks at 1350, WZIX.
The pattern change relay was on top of the Harris MW-5a. You got the
broom handle into position, dropped carrier, shoved hard on the broom
handle to throw the switch and then plates back on. It was probably
2-3sec. Except for the morning I was leaning on the broom handle waiting
for the clock to hit 7:15. I fell asleep standing with my back against
the phasor and leaning on the broom handle. Pattern change was a little
late that day.
