KPCW, Park City’s community radio station since 1980, began its long awaited power upgrade and signal move. To switch out antennas, a broadcast tower crew scaled the mountaintop antenna, and attached the old antenna and antenna pole to a National Boom Truck crane which lifted it off. On the ground, broadcast engineers assembled a new two antenna system on the pole and the crane lifted it into place.
The lift of the new antenna was a difficult process as afternoon winds came up and caused the dangling antenna to swing in the wind. “It was like threading a needle in a windstorm,” KPCW President and General Manager Larry Warren reported. “Hats off to the tower crew who consider this just another day at the office.”
