[IRCA] KPQ Back on the air
I hadn't realized they were off...... It must've been one heck of a
power surge.
From the Wenatchee (WA) World May 06, 2009
WENATCHEE --- KPQ AM Radio resumed broadcasting on AM 560 Monday after a
seven-day shutdown for repairs. The station, owned by Cherry Creek
Radio, went off the air April 26 after an "extreme power surge" blew out
its transmitter, said Dan Conway, the station's general manager. During
the the outage, KPQ programming was broadcast on its sister station, AM
1340, The Zone. Engineers at first ordered parts for what they thought
would be a quick repair but found the entire transmitter had to be
replaced, he said. "It's a very expensive item," he said. "It's
unfortunate, but there's nothing you can do about it except get a new
one." Conway said the company is working with its insurer to determine
the cause of the power surge.
