[Bob Barnswatts]

Over the years I have had several GMs get me aside as i consulted  at other stations and ask me "Hey, Bob, How come our NEW Transmitter doesn't sound as good as our old (plate modulated) transmitter did"....and I tell em cause its new and solid state it will never sound like the old ones.  Something about tubes on AM, sorry folks, but they have a sound that can't be done in transistor form.
