Nobody seems to have found any archotage transmitters so far this year. The guess is they aren't turned on. So, if you could turn them on so people can start collecting the drops that would be great, thanks!

I haven't either and I'm not sad about that. More chances for grid runners.

Believe I know why they are not spawning.
After last years seleena chain, Dan make changes to the rules that spawn NPCs from daily missions
Fix: NPCs that spawn as a result of daily missions will no longer spawn while the mission is on cool down. posted by Dan last Dec 6 2016
Since the transmitters spawn from the seasonal daily mission, i would think if the mission is on cool down, that they will no longer spawn as per Dans rule change last Dec.
support ticket was sent.

support ticket was sent. that makes sense ... guess i will just use the kriell ability to reset the Archotage mission and then leave it open when i want to hunt for transmitters.

Good theory and does make sense. I did not get any to spawn while it was not on cooldown today in a couple hours of NPCing (1 sarkonis and 9 or 10 harvesters, didn't check NPC count) but that might just mean bad luck. Will plan on not completing the mission in the mornings until I've done some NPCing rounds to see if I can get any to spawn. (Needed to take advantage of visions so had to go through it now to keep timers in reasonable check.)

I'm not so sure about the link.
Transmitters appeared in the 2014 event. The Archotage daily mission appeared in the 2015 event. That suggests that the daily is not linked to Transmitters spawning as the daily did not exist in 2014.
The change that was implemented last year to stop linked NPCs spawning whilst the daily was on cool down was for NPCs that dropped artifacts that were required for the completion of the daily. This is not applicable for the Archotage daily as the artifact required is Warp Gates.

In any case. I am not saddened by their lack of spawning. They aren't as good as a terrafounder which takes far less hits to kill that NPC than the what it takes to kill the archotage transmitter.

At twh someone just had one spawn with archotage open. So its fixed at least if the archotage daily is open, might be fixed for both

I can confirm the reports of Transmitters spawning now. Archotage mission is active here as well and the NPC type is listed as "Mission."

Wow this really is terrible. So we cannot double-up on Archotage Amplifiers this year and other years ? Yuck.
This has to be changed ASAP.

Got one right away this morning, so did the mission, and didn't get anymore over the next couple hours. Got 15 harvesters in that time span, and unlike yesterday (with 0 grid runners) I also got 5 or 6 grid runners.
Guessing that the theory here is correct; the mission can't be on cooldown. Will continue testing going forward.
