We have completed another major milestone in our work to upgrade KOLU to 39,000 watts of power.  Thanks to a great deal of help from Craig-Co electrical contracting, we now have the 400A service that is necessary to run the high-powered transmitter to be used for this power level.

The work involved the installation of many items:

Before this work was done, the floor was refinished with a new durable, washable white coating that will reduce dust (which can cause short circuits in the kind of high powered transmitter we will be using), and the present transmitter rack was moved and consolidated with another equipment rack to make room for the new equipment.

Here are some pictures of the electrical installation and one of our floor and rack move:

We have finalized the “exchange agreement” that will officially trade the Badger Mountain translator for a permit to construct a translator reaching Yakima and the Upper Yakima Valley.  All that remains is to have the authorized documents signed, then submitted to the FCC for approval.

Completing this milestone means that we should see approval in 6-8 weeks for the actual exchange.  While this is taking place, we will be finalizing our list of equipment and placing it on order, discussing lease terms with the site owner, and taking care of other preparations such as electricity and a connection to the internet that will be used to monitor operation of the translator.

Calculations have been done that show KOLU’s main transmitter will reach the site with adequate signal levels to provide a clear signal, yet at the same time we are preparing an alternate plan to provide KOLU’s signal via the Internet as a backup.  Our goal is to use high quality equipment and backup to enable the best possible signal in Yakima for Christian Family Radio.

Your prayers for this project are appreciated, as there are many things that have to be done before the February 2015 deadline.
