Engineer's Log of Mark W. Persons |
![]() |
December 1, 2010: The transmitter at KTIG Radio in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, went off the air and there was a terrible burned smell in the transmitter building. KTIG Engineer Aaron Pearson and I replaced the power amplifier cooling motor on this cold December day. |

In the process, we cleaned the impeller blades in the squirrel cage to return normal efficiency to the blower assembly. An Xcelite R184 screwdriver is a very good tool for the job. |

Success! the blower motor ran fine as did the Continental 20 KW FM transmitter. |

Quote of the day: All's well that ends well. Mark |

The stories go on and on. Stop in
again sometime. I'll leave the soldering iron on for you.
