Yes, it was just pressing the button for the last and final time. Button kills the 50 volt, 800 amp power supply. The next time that transmitter comes back on, it will have been converted to a digital linear amp capable of 18kW but only licensed for 1800 Watts. The transmitter is not that old, early 90's, all solid state power Motorola FET design made in Missasauga, Ontario.

It's awesome that you got to do this. The switch has been the biggest buzz in our TV department since the finale of Lost. You're lucky to be a part of the end of an era. Yet another reason that you are the most influential mentor I have ever had.
