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.

There's obviously a dumbass factor at work somewhere is this chain of
events. Somebody designed a HPA stage prone to catastrophic failure,
didn't they?
