[Amps] Good engineering...More Car Computer Horror Stories

[Randall, Randy]

I was one of those that had issues with VOA in Mason Ohio.  My 89 Dodge Dakota would have an anti-lock brake failure while driving next to the transmitter site while they were transmitting.  It was not a one off problem but repeatable.  Dodge was no help other than offering to replace the anti-lock computer for $350.00!

Interesting.  I've heard that similar phenomena (and worse) occurred
with regularity back when the VOA was running lots of power from their
transmitters near Cincinnati, and I had a car once that lit the "Rear
light out" lamp when I transmitted on 2m at high power.
