We've had AP here at my station, WRNJ, for 36 years..they originally  
had that Model 15 RO pounding away and thence to an irritating  
wheeezzie sounding Extel type beast.

The signal came into a converter in the base via fone lines.  Finally,  
we got off the 15, went to Wheezer and a small satellite dish.  My  
Model 15 was to be picked up by their AP staff...but I told him NO, it  
stays here.

A little bit of tension but, I won.  Eventually it ended up at Rice's  
place.

Now, in the news today, it's looking like AP is going to downsize or  
disappear...it's a co-operative of papers and broadcasters.  Due to  
the economy and the internet, big "things" are going to happen...and  
it "don't look good" as news will be helter skelter sources and the AP  
credibility/honesty may be lost forever.

The last techie here said he'd appropriate their last Model 15 for  
me....and never showed.
