[BC] Are there AM stations still using Tube Rigs?

[wmroradio at bellsouth.net]

I have a quick question, are there many small to medium size AM stations still using tube transmitters as a main transmitter? I only know of 1 in the market we are in, and it's held up since about 1960, still on the air with daily service.

The reason why I ask is because the tube transmitters can tune into loads that a solid state, like my BE can not. I called be BE and they wanted nearly $2,500.00 for a output network to go with my AM1A. I contemplating on finding me a latter model tube transmitter that is solid state up to to the finals, that has an output network. 

Tubes have the warmer sound that the typical solid state 1 KW don't have. The only good part about them is the solid state is more efficient, vs. the tube rig, and of course, the power bill, along with buying final tubes yearly. I may bave to break down and just buy the output network from BE.
