[BC] All gen - all the time

[Ronald J. Dot'o Sr.]

KXPC FM 103.7 (Nee. KIQY) is on Snow Peak licensed to Lebanon, Oregon. 
A full class C running off two big diesel generators and cell phone 
control.  I'd hate to see the fuel bill these days as it burns about 
100 gallons per day and is snowed in a good portion of the year.  On 
top of the high cost of DF2 there is a $600 delivery charge to get the 
tanker up there to replenish the 5000 gallon fuel vault.
