According to KOB TV 4 (NBC) Albuquerque tonight, after several hours of 
intermittent  transmissions, including some complete loss of signal, 
during the Olympics, KNAT-TV ch 23 dropped a 40 foot transmitting 
antenna (looked like a long panel) from their tower, onto the power 
lines feeding Sandia Crest. Not sure why it fell, but it wreaked havoc 
with KOBs transmitter. But I noted that ch 5, 7 and 13 all seemed to 
stay on, so I don't know what thats about.
