Tower Icing
The story goes, Dana was going off air intermittently.
When the technicians got out of
their vehicle at the transmitter
building, they heard a creaking sound. They approached
the source of the sound, the tower. They looked inside the antenna
fence fence and noticed
the tower twisting on the base, so much that
the "johnny balls" on the isolation transformer
were close enough to
draw a big arc, knocking the station off air. They looked up
the tower,
saw this, and vacated the area.
