Don’t you have to log transmitter power each day?

after 200-foot radio tower stolen
It's in our neighboring county. Been there, know the
guy, know the station.
For those of you who don't know, I operate a LPFM in our
home county (since 2014)
1) Ok, why on EARTH is this viral? Like
internationally viral?
2) For all the backstory / scuttlebutt you
could ever want (and not even on facebook) :

3) Ok, so chop chop the guy wires, the tower thuds
on the ground and you just unscrew it in 10 foot sections
just like a rohn25, no? I don't know how "no one"
knew it was missing tho. Clearly no one listens to that AM,
except for the locals, who say it has been off air for at
least 5 years.
In my home county we have two licensed AMS, 1340 and
1460. 1460 has been off air for at least 5 years,
but never filed as silent and still shows as
licensed. 1340 signed off last week - the property had been
abandoned,
seized for unpaid taxes, auctioned from the federal
government (all by the guy currently running it), and now it's
being
sold for a development of houses. Good for
them.....
Promise you lots of other AMS feeding fm translators where
the AMs are also silent....
