Running on Low Power-Repaired!

Posted By : Martin

Update, November 22: The transmitter has been repaired and is again running at full power.  Thank you for your prayers!

Update, November 15, 7pm: We were able to find the problem with our main transmitter at KOLU, which turned out to be a shorted driver tube that failed prematurely after one month of service.  The short also caused the failure of another component.  We are working to get replacements as soon as possible, but expect it to take several days.  In the meantime, we have our backup transmitter broadcasting through the main antenna, giving us considerably better coverage.

November 15, 2018: Yesterday around 12:40PM the electric service at our main transmitter (KOLU) went down, and was off for several hours.  Our automatic backup system utilizing a generator kept us on the air during this time.  When power was restored, we attempted to restart our main transmitter, but there were problems that prevented us from bringing KOLU back to full power that will be investigated today.

During this time, our over-the-air signal will be degraded and may be “scratchy” or completely off in our fringe areas.  You can listen online to us from our main page at kolu.com if you are able.  We will troubleshoot the problem this morning and hope to be back to full power this afternoon.  You can refer to this page for updates.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty to Christian Family Radio.
