We have a small translator in Worland. It is fed from our digital signal on Copper Mountain and had unfortunately been off the air due to the failure of the digital signal. We wanted to attempt to replace the receiver while we were in the area since the current receiver had been prone to occasional […]
Next stop, Copper Mountain, located between Shoshoni and Thermopolis. This site is home to our 91.3 KUWT transmitter and is one of our more difficult to access. A “road” filled with sharp rocks is the access route–in the winter it drifts full of snow but there are still a number of exposed rocky patches. This […]
We now have tracks on the new WPR utility vehicle! Still no cab but that will come shortly. At least now I can access a couple of sites that have desperately needed attention for the past few weeks! A nice view of the scenery from Beaver Rim.
I had received a call from my Lingle transmitter site that the transmitter was running at low power. I made a trip up to the site to check it out. Fortunately this site was an easy drive. I decided to take a new (to me) vehicle–a 2005 Dodge Durango. It was a very enjoyable drive. […]
At long last I received approval to go ahead and purchase a reliable utility vehicle that I can use during the winter to access my transmitter sites. The vehicle is a 4×4 Polaris Ranger Crew Cab. It will comfortably haul up to 6 people and a bed full of cargo. Towing capacity is up to […]
After the work in Afton we went to Pinedale to investigate a reception issue. Everything turned out to be OK but the remote control is giving some strange readings. I will have to come back once I have a snow vehicle. The view from my hotel room in Pinedale
Today’s travels brought me to beautiful Afton, Wyoming. Shortly after I had received the report of the Rock Springs outage I received additional reports that Afton was off the air as well. Once again, I suspected satellite receiver issues but had no way to positively confirm it without an Internet connection to the site. The […]
I received a message earlier this morning that both of my Rock Springs stations were off the air. All indications were that the satellite receiver had failed. This was not an uncommon issue in the past with these receivers but it had not happened recently. The first challenge was getting to the site… Interstate 80–Lots […]
