The KAXE tower and transmitter are in need of replacing.  Maggie Montgomery and Kari Hedlund talked about the history of the existing tower, including when a gravel truck knocked down our first tower in 1984. 

Dan Houg, Station Engineer, spoke with Kari and Maggie about the scope of the tower and transmitter project and provides a 101 of HOW radio waves are transferred.

Maggie spoke with Loren Solberg to better explain the bonding process.
