TOWER SITE NEEDED NEAR KREMMLING FOR SIGNAL! π¨π‘
π¨ A Note on the Urgency: An FCC opening for a new translator like this hasn't happened since the 1970s. Fifty years... this is truly a twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our station and our county. We don't want to miss this window! β³π‘β¨
The deadline to submit potential sites for our engineer to review is JULY 15th. π
Grand County, we need your help!
Our engineering team just confirmed that our original Grouse Mountain tower site won't work for the new FCC signal translator application. The official FCC translator application window opened at the end of our fundraising drive, and with a strict mid-August deadline looming, we must secure replacement location options immediately. ποΈβ‘π»
We are focusing our search in and around Kremmling, Parshall, the Gore Range, Big Horn, and surrounding areas. The ideal spot needs to be elevated enough to overshoot Red Mountain and Junction Butte, and must be able to connect back to our Granby Ranch tower on East Mountain. π²π
π THE 6 CRITERIA WE NEED (and we recognize it's a tall order):
π Power: Reliable access to commercial or residential electrical power.
π» Reception: Must already clearly receive KFFR 88.3 FM on a standard radio.
ποΈ Elevation: High ground between 5,000 and 9,000 feet.
π Access: Drivable road access is highly preferred.
ποΈ Infrastructure: Space for a small equipment shed next to a 50+ foot tower, pole, or structure.
βοΈ Distance: Must be located at least 5 miles (8 km) away from the airport.
π² HELP US BROADCAST DEEPER INTO THE COUNTY!
Securing this site before July 15th is the only way we can finalize our FCC application and bring clear community radio to more of our neighbors before the mid-August deadline!
