TWiRT 191 - The Value of Engineering

Engineering repair and maintenance: Is it a “pay me now or pay me later” equation?  Or is there more to it than that?  Are more and more stations just ignoring ongoing, preventive maintenance in favor of just declaring an emergency when they go off-air, or sound really bad?  Chris Tarr has an opinion or two on that, and Chris Tobin does, too.
