KOLU Tower Work Friday February 27
We are pleased to announce that the tower work to prepare KOLU for our 39,000 watt upgrade has been rescheduled for Friday, February 27. During this time, KOLU will be unable to broadcast at our present 4,100 watts, since the work involves the replacement of the cable that feeds signal to the antenna. Instead, we will use our 100 watt backup transmitter, which serves primarily the Tri-Cities and Hermiston. Our translators in Yakima and Prosser will automatically shut off during this time, since the signal will not reach them. We will also need to be off the air for brief periods of time while climbers are near our backup antenna. We expect to operate at low power from approximately 9:30AM for about 4 hours on Friday, February 27. Also note that we will continue to stream on the internet at kolu.com. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we progress toward upgrading KOLU to 39,000 watts in the coming weeks.
