If there isn't a lot of communication between the Radio Reading Service director and the engineer of the main carrier likely as not the main carrier is unaware of the problem. An average station does about twenty hours per week transmitter maintenance but they don't normally wory about the subcarrier unless reminded. If the meters look alright then they don't take it any further. About ouce a month the engineer and I get together on the phone each in our respective places and try to iron out any problems that may have developed. He doesn't mind if I call him at any time if we have a problem though and that is good. That is the kind of relationship you have to have as you depend on that engineer to maintain your signal.
