Antenna Update


Late Wednesday night we noticed that our power suddenly dropped and other indicators pointed to our old antenna “giving up the ghost” as they say in these parts. We were afraid this might happen.

Over the last week or so we have been contacted by a number of emergency management agencies such as local police and rescue squads and even several hospitals which were experiencing technical difficulties with their communications systems. These problems were traced back to improper rf (radio frequency) emissions from our location.

Knowing that we could not continue broadcasting in a way that would compromise anyone’s ability to conduct vital life-saving services, we contacted the manufacturer of the new antenna and they graciously agreed to send us a low-power backup antenna for us to use till the new one is completed.

Fortunately, this replacement antenna arrived on Wednesday and we were able to rig it on the tower Thursday, which is why we were off the air for several hours.

Do me a favor and call us at 800-251-8326 and let us know where you begin to lose the signal for 90.9 FM. When you are travelling around and the station fades out, take note of where you are -- then call WRAF at 800-251-8326. This will help us determine how far we are currently reaching.

I have some good news to pass along to you. The antenna manufacturer tells us there is a great chance they will have the antenna to us well ahead of the June 1st date originally given. Continue praying for Toccoa Falls Radio and know we are grateful to all of who have helped us in this project.
