[AMRadio] Broadcast transmitter rescue

[Al Waller, K3TKJ]

Hi Bernie,

I have a pretty good source for these due to my present job. I also 
rescued a Harris FM-3K but thought better than to announce that on the 
AM list <grin>. I hope to get this one shined up and on the air over the 
winter....like I need another project.

73, Al
