From our “Who buys what” page: Powell Broadcasting in Iowa recently used a 10-watt rental transmitter from Information Station Services to bring KLEM(AM) back on the air after severe flooding hit the region.

Powell’s General Manager Dennis Bullock informed ISS that the station’s transmitter site had been flooded. The manufacturer provided a TR6000 transmitter overnight for Saturday delivery.

“We quickly racked it up and started broadcasting. Coverage in all directions exceeded our expectations, a good signal for nearly 25 miles,” Bullock said in an email to Information Station Specialists. “There were high-fives all around when 1410 AM came back to life.”

KLEM in Le Mars, Iowa, normally has a power of 1 kW during the day and 50 watts at night. It also has an FM repeater.

Photos of the floods in summer are published on the station’s website.
