serves Cody, Wyoming, with a translator on 88.5 MHz.
We have been working at the Cedar Mountain site above Cody, Wyoming, since
the late 1980's, first for KLZY,
then later for KNWT. On a sunny, summer day in
2010, we were called by Yellowstone Public Radio to get the Cody translator back
on the air.
Cedar Mountain Electronic Site, above Cody, Wyoming,
elevation 7,650 feet, September 2, 2010.
This 100 foot tower supports antennas for two FM translators, one TV translator,
and one two-way radio system.
The signal for Yellowstone Public Radio arrives at the Cedar Mountain site via
satellite. The building is fabricated from steel, but it is not a common cargo
container.
The transmitting antenna for the YPR translator is the 5-element Yagi
in the center of the photo.
The cause of the outage turned out to be a bad satellite receiver.
Here, Loren has brought a second satellite receiver to the site to verify
the diagnosis. The transmitter is a Crown FM150.
At the other end of the building are a TV translator and an FM translator.
