Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Trying to capture West Tiger tower repair
Don't know how current the info is but on this site that is dated 2010: https://www.fybush.com/sites/2010/site-101112.html Clay Freinweld (K7CR) says about West Tiger II: "Not only did West Tiger become a major FM site, it began to be considered as a possible TV site, too. In 1998, American Tower began developing what's called "West Tiger II," a few hundred yards northeast of the Entercom site. It's now home to two major towers: the one on the left holds an 8-bay ERI master antenna that carries CBS' KMPS (94.1 Seattle), KJAQ (96.5 Seattle), KZOK (102.5 Seattle) and KBKS (106.1 Seattle), as well as Sandusky's KQMV (92.5 Bellevue) and KWJZ (98.9 Seattle). It's crowned by the antenna for what was then home-shopping KWOG and is now Fisher's Univision affiliate, KUNS (TV 51/DT 50). The TV candelabra next door holds Pax/ion's KWPX (TV 33/DT 32), Daystar's KWDK (DT42) and home-shopping (now Azteca America) outlet KHCV (TV 45/DT44)."

That sucks for someone. At least it’s snow free for now. Any idea to what services were impacted? Thanks, Jamie Hughes WA7JH From: PSDR <psdr-bounces@hamwan.org> On Behalf Of Bart Kus Sent: Thursday, November 8, 2018 10:30 AM To: Puget Sound Data Ring <psdr@hamwan.org>; Rob Martin <rgmrob@yahoo.com> Subject: [HamWAN PSDR] Trying to capture West Tiger tower repair Hello, Given the extraordinary events of this morning: [cid:image001.jpg@01D47750.5168D1E0] on West Tiger mtn, we have aimed the East Tiger mtn PTZ camera at the affected facility and have setup video recording to try and capture the repair process. Please help this effort succeed by not moving the camera away from the action, or overloading its feed by viewing it directly. For anyone wanting to watch the live stream, it's available as the last video stream on http://stream.westin.hamwan.net/ (only works in Chrome). We've already observed trucks moving around the facility this morning, and are speculating the black substance on the roof of the building is the burned debris of the antennas. Thanks, --Bart
That seems to be more or less accurate. I know for certain 96.5, 102.5 and 106.1 are on their auxiliary/backup transmitter facilities as they currently aren't simulcasting their digital radio services.Might be some time before they're back on the air. Broadcast antennas are generally build-to-order, and this master antenna situation was a very custom job. Next time I see the KNKX engineer at a RCT meeting I'll ask if he heard what happened up there.
