WBCQ 7490

What's the story on them after the transmitter fire? Coming in 20 over tonight during Marion's Attic, wasn't sure if they had worked out something to get back on full power or not.

Last night on 5130, I heard TimTron say they were running a backup transmitter, I'm not sure what frequencies were affected by the fire.  He also said they have a GoFundMe site to take donations for a new transmitter.

The 7490 transmitter was the one that burned up and i know the other transmitters were ok (i believe the 9330 and the old 15420 transmitters shared the building with the 7490 rig and 5130 and 3265 were in separate buildings). As strong as they were coming in here, almost as strong as when they're running a full 50 kw, i figured maybe they had something rigged up to get a stronger signal out, other than a backup, which i believe a lot of their backup transmitters are medium sized military rigs (think T368/BC610 size).

I had a better than usual signal the other night also.
