One Broadcast Engineer's blog…
We had received a complaint of some interference being caused by our Dubois transmitter. It had gotten to the point where the FCC was involved so I decided to act quickly. While there was no reason to believe our equipment was directly involved, I wanted to cooperate in any way possible. Callie once again accompanies […]
I’ve been working on a project to add a signal north of Torrington for about 2 years now. This signal is going to serve a large portion of the state where we currently have no coverage at all. Unfortunately the plans have been modified and stalled for numerous reasons several times now. Funding was also […]
I had been waiting for some replacement equipment to arrive to install at our Copper Mountain transmitter site. It had arrived just before I left on this trip so I stopped in at the site to install it. I love the view from Copper Mountain…From the other side, Boysen Reservoir is visible.
From Buffalo I headed over to Cody to install a network switch as well as the monitoring equipment I had just pulled from Buffalo. At this site (since we have a network connection whereas in Buffalo we don’t) I can access the equipment via the network for better monitoring capabilities. New network switch and monitoring […]
I decided to swap out a piece of monitoring equipment in Buffalo so a more capable unit currently at the site could be moved to another site to take full advantage of its capabilities. This required a slight bit of rewiring… My impromptu “workbench”…
Back on the road…I decided to stop at our Casper site again to check some programming on the network switch at that site. This doe feeding at the site was pretty fearless and let me almost come right up to her to get a photo.
Another day, another site. I had lost contact with our remote control at the site. The connection is via Voice over IP. Apparently the network switch had suffered a failure and needed to be replaced. The road to the tower site…
I had been receiving some false alarms from our Gillette site so while in the area, I headed over there to check it out. Callie hanging out while I work…
While I was on the road (again) I took the opportunity to take care of a few other issues as well. This time I’m dealing with a failure of our digital signal in Buffalo. UW88 was in the shop for service so I took my trusty little Jeep Cherokee on this trip. Not nearly as […]
Another week…Back to Casper. This time to replace a failed (not so) uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These have been a common point of failure for us…The most common failure is overcharging of the batteries which causes them to fail. This is generally caused by a fault in the unit itself. I generally replace these units […]
