KFI is having a lot of bad luck with transmitters and antennas.

So now that they have had two transmitters burn up anyone know why that
happened?


No excuse that I can think of. Broadcast engineering doesn't attract the
best and brightest any more. Other specialties pay a lot better. People
used to do it for love of the medium, but that's out the window as the
medium generally sucks.


One transmitter burnt, and it has been commented that this is due to a
design issue since 2 others (there are not that many 50 kw installs in the
whole US) have gone the same way. The engineering at KFI is superb... but
it's the same thing as giving a lemon car to an Indy 500 driver... it will
still break down.
