PREVIOUS UPDATES:

Tuesday July 17th, 9 a.m. - Currently we still have some electrical and testing to finish but may be able to switch over to the new transmitter as early as Wednesday evening, but Thursday more likely... REMEMBER Due to the differences in consumer electronics, some people will need to rescan, while others will not... I will post as soon as the switch has been made and signal is stable, so I hope the next update is the last!!!!

We now have a schedule of events...

7/13/2018 - Transmitter arrives and is unloaded at the transmitter site

7/16/2018 - Transmitter install team begins work

7/16/2018 - Electrical connection finished by Ash Davis

Install should take about a week or less, so the entire project should be completed by 7/21/2018... Once again, most will have no issues, some will need to re-scan after the transition is made to the new transmitter.
