It happens to the best of us. A transmitter or antenna part breaks, it is hard to obtain a replacement,
and so no signals are transmitted for a period of time. Sad for us, but a disaster for a TV station!
George MacKnight joins us to tell the technical story of the 2 1/2 day outage of WPTO in July. He will
also discuss general maintenance of the powerful transmitters and tall towers that he deals with on a
daily basis for Think TV channels 14 and 16.

Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2017
The Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2017 was introduced in the US Senate on July 12, marking another step forward for this landmark legislation.
The Senate bill, S. 1534, is identical to H.R. 555, which passed the US House of Representatives in January. The ARRL
is urging U.S. Amateurs to contact their Senators and express their support for this bill.
