In 2006, we upgraded the Sheridan translator to a transmitter.
For more about this type of change, see the information about the
Livingston translator upgrade.
Located in the Big Horn Mountains, high above Sheridan, at the 7590 foot level,
the Red Grade site is home to a number of FM and TV transmitters and translators.
On the left, TV translator K07HC. On the right, microwave gear that brings
both KTVQ-TV and Yellowstone Public Radio from Billings.
Jim and apprentice David Hubbard wrestle the new 88.1 antenna into position
on the new mast, 24-Aug-2006.
The new 88.1 transmitter is a Crown FM500.
The new 88.1 antenna is a Shively 6812B-1R.
Even in August, when the summer sun begins to dip behind the trees,
the temperature begins to drop. Silhouetted on the left tower,
four Yagi antennas for K07HC TV translator. The new KPRQ antenna is
