Serving Chiloquin at 91.7 MHz

Location: six miles northwest of Chiloquin (geographic coordinates and map).

Pictures were taken in April 2008.

Transmitting Antenna

The installation was simple and foolproof. There was nothing that could easily bend or break. The tower was strong. The AC power drop was made to the tower directly above the meter base. The translator was buried underground in a ferrocement vault where it has continued to operate for more than two decades. Most people would have no idea that sophisticated electronics were operating somewhere beneath their feet.

Receiving Antenna

The antenna (visible in the distance) was located 150 feet north of the transmitting antenna. Originally, it picked up the signal from the Walker Mountain translator, 47 miles to the north. Now, it receives directly from King Mountain.

Bald Eagle Nesting Area

The USDA Forest Service delayed the installation of this translator several months in order to protect the bald eagle habitat. Now, more than two decades later, the result of those efforts is an endangered specie success story.
