Off to Afton in the heart of the Star Valley for another routine stop on my annual network tour…More gorgeous country. Just finished here…Time to lock up and head to the next stop…
I continued my tour by heading from Dubois over to Jackson. It’s always a gorgeous drive. Heading through Togwotee Pass…The Grand Teton mountain range looms large in the distance.
After my visit to Copper Mountain it was time to head for Windy Ridge in Dubois. This is a translator site fed via satellite and delayed to match the audio from the Copper Mountain transmitter site which is on the same frequency. Getting to Windy Ridge is always somewhat of a challenge… This road isn’t […]
Next stop: Copper Mountain. The task at this site was to install a remote control interface for the transmitter. This interface will allow me to monitor all of the transmitter’s parameters via the network. This provides much more information than the existing dialup remote control system in place… The KUWT transmitter and equipment rack…This site […]
Next stop on the tour, Riverton. This time I’m just checking in on things as part of my routine network tour. We had just put this translator back on the air earlier this year with our Jazz signal. It has since been moved to a new frequency to avoid interference with another new station that will be […]
We had suffered some power issues in Lander which blew up a transformer at the site. While our equipment is protected inside the building with an additional transformer, the stepdown transformer on the power pole had failed multiple times. Our electrician suggested installing a surge protector on the incoming line to prevent it from happening […]
Once I had finished up in Casper, I headed down to our Douglas site to do some additional wiring on the remote control system. The building…It isn’t much to look at and could probably use a new roof and some air handling. It’s about one step above having the equipment rack directly outdoors…
Off to Casper to remove a faulty remote control…It needs to go back to the manufacturer for service. My trusty chariot, UW88 sits atop a lookout point on Casper Mountain…
After finishing up in Worland, I headed over to our transmitter site in Cody. Wildlife crossing the road is a recurring theme out here…
The trip continues…This time, Worland… The tower site on Rattlesnake Ridge…
