Is that the “you’re not using it so it’s mine now” rule?

 

Does that apply to cars?  How about spouses?

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....
