Building KKCR, summer 1997

The construction of KKCR/KAQA on the island of Kaua`i took the better part of the summer of 1997. Starting on May 3rd, the project was mostly complete on August 8th. The combination of two transmitter sites (one of which can only be easily reached by helicopter), and studios tucked away in a remote patch of the north shore, all linked together by a combination of direct STL, fiber-optic cable, and a bit of creative compromising, made it an interesting but difficult project. I'm still trying to tie down loose ends. In the tropics, there are always loose ends.
