November 18, 2008:  The power company and electricians worked at the KAXE transmitter site changing the power feed from single-phase to three-phase.  This replaced an unreliable rotary power converter that made three-phase power from single-phase.

Where oh where has that voltage gone?  Oh, here it is!
