[TowerTalk] Fwd: Now THIS is a tower climb!

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

I once visited a BC station in Trinidad that had the red "on the air" 
light inside a double panel of glass between the studio and control 
room.  I foolishly asked "do you mean you have to remove one of those 
glass panels when you have to replace a burned out lamp?" The answer was 
"no...we never have to replace them since they are 240 VAC bulbs and we 
power them with 120 volts."  I guess it cuts back on the illumination 
but extends the life of the bulbs significantly.
