Some might say how can that be with 6 day weeks and hours that never seem to end? It is the satisfaction that is being derived from all of the months of pent up anticipation while others worked and I watched on the sidelines as this project moved forward. It is quite contagious to say the least. Ross the Boss feels it too.
After 7 years of planning, revising, delays, false starts, more revisions, more delays, permit delays, more permit delays, equipment delays, rework delays, the fact that now we are putting in our time as the others are either finishing up or have finished up is just fabulous! With all that needs to be done, blogging is one the things that have taken the back seat for the time being. Getting deliveries for everything from equipment to transmitter coolant to installing transmission lines and leveling racks and making sure all of the paperwork is in order, the days (heck weeks) get gone in no time.
It seems the transmitters had just arrived and now the digital is almost ready. The cooling system is loaded with coolant and the electrical is just about finished and next week we hope to fire the high voltage up for the first time and if all goes well, then the transmitter can be tuned and we can start testing, the last step before we put it on the air.

Then after it is on the air, I am going to slow WAY down in the month of February. That is ratings month so not much happens then anyway. I will use the time to get ready for the installation of the new analog transmitter so when ratings are done in March, we can get it installed and on the air by the end of the month. After that, we will take stock in what needs to be done next and see when we might be able to do it.
Who says "I can't get no, satisfaction?"
