Roatan Construction Project Part 2

A couple months ago we presented the video Roatan Construction Project, highlight some remodeling being done at the home of Romel Hernandez. Romel handles all the Spanish broadcasting at Radio HRGS and he is a good friend. Sandi and I visited Romel and his wife Iris the other day to see what kind of progress has been made on their remodeling. Let's check it out.

Studio Refitting at Radio HRGS

In our previous videos we documented our work in reestablishing the digital link between our studios and the transmitter site. Once that was established we were then able to bring the studio equipment back to the studios. The operation went rather smoothly and we are now back to broadcasting from the studios.

Tower Climbing Part 2

When we left you last time on Tower Climbing Part 1 we had a tenuous link established from our studios to our transmitter site. After beating our heads against the wall for a while, Jerry found out that the power supply that came with the new data radio didn't have enough "Juice Bruce." After building a better power supply we were ready to put the other antenna back up on the tower.

Tower Climbing Part 1

During the big thunderstorm August 30th a lightening strike took out part of our studio to transmitter link. It took us a while to get the replacement equipment down here to Roatan, but it finally arrived. Our hope was that we could switch the new equipment for the torched equipment and everything would get up and run. That isn't exactly what happened. I am not sure how many times I went up and down our tower, but I can tell you that there were four days of tower climbing before everything was set up properly.
