Bring in the power!


We hit our next milestone in the new transmitter site project. We had the BIG power arrive today! The big beam supplies that provide the 35,000 volts to run the UHF digital transmitter arrived and we had the power turned on in the building! Both are milestones in their own right. But to have them both arrive on the same day is pretty special! The digital transmitter itself is not but a few weeks away now and to have the big supplies that run it in means that time is getting short.

We were lucky that the rain stopped while they were unloading the supplies and then placing them on the equipment patio. It wasn't 5 minutes after we completed that it started to rain again.

With the cool weather and rain we have been having, it will be nice to have the heat running in the building. It has been a little chilly and damp last few days, but now we can start to dry things out and get the finishing touches done. It will also be nice to have some real lighting in the building instead of temporary lighting.
