[Boatanchors] In San Juan, old analog tech. kept one station in P.R. QRV

[Rob Atkinson]

I think it is something like that.   The other stations were all
digital gear I guess and for some reason that was or is a problem.
Tube gear doesn't care so much about the line voltage and the load at
the antenna.
