NORMAL OPERATION AT REDUCED POWER AND ANTENNA HEIGHT DUE TO THE FACT, DISCOVERED 8/24/2016, THAT SOMEONE HAS REMOVED OUR TOWER, AS WELL AS OTHER ANOMALIES AT THE SITE. STATION IS CURRENTLY TRANSMITTING FROM AN ADJACENT 8 METER TALL TREE WITH ERP OF 0.05 KW.
THIS SITUATION COULD CONTINUE FOR YET SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS UNTIL EITHER WE DETERMINE EXACTLY WHO REMOVED THE TOWER, WHY, AND CAN SEEK ITS RETURN, OR TO INSTALL ANOTHER TOWER.
