[BC] BE AM-1A Transmitter Air filter Heads-up!!

[JIM GRAHAM]

What the heck...   Run it like I found an MW10 running.  NO filters.  Front panel open, interlock defeated with open exposure to the HV transformer.  Filthy building.  Clogged blower impeller and air interlock defeated.
 
I've never understood why owners will spend the kind of money a transmitter costs, then not take care of it, and, in fact, neglect it.  Isn't it a major part of their livelihood?

    Yeah, you wouldn't think that would be a good place to locate it.

    I think I have to challenge their statement that their proposed 2000' tower will be the world's tallest free-standing structure (see http://www.burjkhalifa.ae/the-tower/fact-figures.aspx), but apparently it makes for good local print.
