My dad's lucky break... or is it?! (You will only understand this if you are a LOST fan)

So, my dad is all excited and facebook's the following:

I get to go up to the ksl tower Friday and help throw the switch to send out the new digital signal.

Which really got me thinking: what kind of switch is this, where they are recruiting sponsors to come help them turn it on?!

And then it dawned on me...

I hope we don't find my dad's body in the desert in Morocco somewhere!
