 Hi Mike. 

not sure what you mean by that last line, even though I am a bit of a Trek 
fan :-) My main and auxiliary need to have equal reliability. I do not like 
midday carrier interruptions even if I had the most reliable backup on earth.

There is a very bad engineering attitude that has been floating around for 
years. " Ah what he hell, it's good enough for a backup."  Eh, sorry, no. The 
backup has to be reliable because when you need it, you NEED IT!.

So to that end, my old transmitters at NIU/NIJ are getting complete overhauls 
once the HD conversion is done :-)
