More WXMD work coming up

The A/C replacement at WXMD is now complete.  Thank you to those who helped us. The new AC unit is working reliably and keeping the equipment cool.  What a relief that is!  

 

We have one issue remaining at WXMD.   There is a high reflected power indication outbound from our transmitter.  Every indication is that this is due to our antennas/jumpers/divider combination at the top of the tower.  We've been suspecting this for some time now.  The antenna system is quite old, having been installed early 2014 - well over 10 years ago.  During that time we have sustained many lightning strikes.  We have never replaced our antenna and believe that now is the time. While we have men on the tower, we are planning to also replace the power divider and the two jumpers.  That way, we have a clean "starting point."   We replaced our coax with a larger diameter version, earlier in the year, and are confident that it is fine.  

 

If you would like to participate in this necessary project at WXMD, we would welcome your gifts.
