That reminds me of a problem a local TV station had many years ago.
Normally, they'd never turn off their STL. One night they did turn off the
STL to do some work at the studio. The STL did not squelch, so their
remote control (a Moseley PBR-30) started randomly stepping through
channels and raising and lowering those channels. It turned the
transmitter on into the dummy load without turning on the dummy load
cooling (it wasn't interlocked!). Burned out the dummy load.
