WLRE a run of Bad luck but were back up

G

Gatekeeper007

I guess I can't complain we have used a Harris/Gates TE 3 exciter on our 96.3 translator for eight years with only one break down but boy when it rains it pours. Our TE 3 blew an RF transistor which I fixed but the very next day the AFC module burned out and took the crystal with it. That same week our 105.5 transmitter blew out a Nexus NBE 150 exciter, as it turned out when the exciter was built 3 years ago someone who didn't tighten one nut out of six that hold the pc board in place on the PLL circuit came loose and rolled across the powersupply killing the exciter and PLL board for good. Then we lost internet communications on the tower and when the internet guy went up to replace his equiment on the way down something happened and he kinked our hardline which caused a short and blew the RF transistor on our main amp. Well all the different parts and equiment have been ordered to replace the damaged stuff and we are back on the air with some temp equiment at one third power but at least were back. Boy I hope this is end of our bad luck streak.
