About a week or so ago I headed up to Jackson to deal with a remote control issue. On that trip I uncovered another more serious issue with the uninterruptible power supply. I decided to make another trip before the Christmas holiday so I wouldn’t have issue in case of power failure at the site…This site is […]

OK, this is getting a bit old… I received a call from a listener that we had been off the air in Dubois for the past four days. That’s odd…I had not received any other calls about it… She had tried to receive us on two different radios at her house, however, and was receiving […]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been in the process of having a new transmitter site built. Site preparations are in progress but I wanted to have the building first shipped to Laramie before getting sent to the site. This will allow me to pre-assemble and test everything in Laramie and save travel […]

I had been having some issues with the remote control at our Jackson transmitter site so I decided to make a visit before the issues prevented me from accessing the site remotely in case of an equipment failure. Unfortunately the site is snowed in so it will require a snow cat for access. Once again […]

I had received a report from our Thermopolis site that our HD signal was off the air. This signal also feeds two of our translators so it was rather important to get it fixed. In addition, I had discovered on a previous visit that some of the clamps securing the antenna to the tower had […]

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.
