[IRCA] KSJB

Just for kicks, I wrote the GM of KSJB (Rick Pfeiffer) regarding the stationâs recent return to the air with full power. His response:


Yes sir the old array was 68 years old and was subjected to a lot of abuse in our high wind state and swampy environment.  The old setup was still using open-air feed line.  I had a structural analysis done some years back and it was not good.  There was also some evidence the Wincharger towers were poorly fabricated to begin with; and prior owners over the decades had overstressed them and done everything cheap instead of good.
 
We rebuilt the whole thing; towers-ground radials-coax.  Went with LED lights and a white day/red night light system that eliminates tower painting.
 
We do stream on the net and have a mobile app.
