The new TV site at Ulupalakua ranch on Maui is nearing completion, and all the Maui TV stations will likely vacate Haleakala by early April. KKUA (90.7 mhz) has already moved to the Pacific Radio Group tower, adjacent to the new site. UH and the Air Force are kicking all broadcasters out (including the National Weather Service) to eliminate RF interference to the telescopes at Haleakala.
Meanwhile, KDLX in Makawao has abandoned it's old tower (wood pole actually) and moved up to the Haleakala ranch (8,000 ft. above sea level) on an STA. The old tower was near collapse, and since the neighbors have moved in around the site, it was no longer a good place for an FM transmitter. Another new station (COL Kihei) will also use the new site at Haleakala Ranch.
On the Big Island, the new station in Kona on 93.1 is up and running, as well as a newly revived FM simulcasting on 92.7 mhz with KHBC-AM 1060 khz in Hilo.
This board has been fairly quiet, but probably because most of us here are just too busy to post. At least that is my excuse.
