Felix McDonald & KAAY Transmitter Comment

Felix McDonald was proud of the transmitter plant, and he kept it spotless. When touring a visitor through the plant, Felix would point out a very large grey metal enclosure and ask - "Know what that is?" It was the modulation transformer (the audio section of the transmitter) and it weighed 6,600 pounds!!

And very important. At another station I worked for. the modulation transformer went out and we were off the air for days while another one was located and trucked in.
