[BC] STL transmitters

[Scott Bailey]

I don't know what size station this is, but if it was me, I would be moving my studio to the transmitter site. 

That's the great advantage I have, my studio is in the next room from the transmitter.

Chip, $350 dollars is alot of money these days. The owner should step in and have a savings account fund for problems like this if the transmitter site is that far from the studio site. 

If the station owner can't pay, I agree, something is wrong with this picture.

A station that has their main studio and transmitter site separate should maintain some kind of automation at the transmitter site to stay on with some kind of programming.
