Our Copper Mountain transmitter (91.3 KUWT, Thermopolis) is another very difficult site to access.  I had received a note from an engineer installing another new station that apparently there are some RF hot spots on site.  I immediately went to the site to investigate.

A device called a “Narda Meter” tells the tale…Sure enough, we do have a spot that is over the limit.  We will need to construct a fence  to protect the public from RF exposure.
