We suffered a power failure on Pilot Hill a few days ago…When power returned unfortunately our transmitter did not come back on the air. We were eventually able to get it back on the air but needed to correct some wiring on the remote control system. Reid and Ben troubleshoot wiring to the remote control system…
On the way back from Riverton I had to stop by the site again. Apparently I dropped the keys to the equipment rack. On the way into the site I found this little guy…I was able to snap a picture before he popped back into his snow burrow.
I received a report that our new Riverton translator was off the air. Apparently it was “motorboating”. When I got close enough to hear what was going on, it sounded like the same little snippet of audio had gotten “stuck” somehow. I tried to access the site in the truck but needed to take a […]
The station has been on the air for the past couple days and it’s our last day on site…Constrution is for the most part complete aside from some physical site details that the contractors will be taking care of once the ground thaws a bit. Ben, Reid and myself clean up the site and get […]
Now that the building is in place, it’s time to finish any wiring that was not completed before the building was brought to site. “Luna” joins us on site…
While working on my new transmitter site, I received notice that we were off the air at our Buffalo transmitter site. The road to the site is blocked by a large snow bank…Fortunately I was able to maneuver the truck around it to access the site.
Over the past few months we’ve been “staging” a transmitter building in Laramie while simultaneously building a tower site in Eastern Wyoming. The building is complete and today it gets delivered from Laramie to the tower site. The building is loaded with a crane onto the trailer in Laramie…Ready to head to the site!
Today’s task was to finish up the other half of the tie line wiring I started yesterday. The box at the top is the remote control…Next is an equipment block for connections to the remote control. Finally, at the bottom, is the other end of the connections I wired up yesterday.
Today’s task was to do some additional work on the building before hauling it up to the transmitter site. I decided to wire up a “tie line” between the miscellaneous sensors in the building and the equipment rack which houses the remote control for the site. Starting the process of connecting the wires to the […]
Last week while at the new tower site for Lingle, I received a report that our Casper HD2 and HD3 services (Classical and Jazz) were off the air. We have a number of faithful listeners to these services so I drove to the Casper site to attempt repairs. Once I arrived, I found the importer […]
