Because of the weather we have not been able to get onto the tower at Pico Peak.
Our engineer and a tower climber were at Pico Peak 10 days ago to repair
the transmitter for 91.7 WGLV. Though they had a replacement part for the
transmitter they found the transmit antenna and the microwave dish were
greatly damaged. The microwave dish was hanging on to the tower by one
bolt and basically swinging in the wind.
It appears the transmit antenna can be repaired but the microwave dish is damaged
beyond repair. A new microwave dish has been ordered and the parts needed to repair
the transmit antenna will be picked up on Monday. Plans now are for a trip back up to
Pico Peak on Wednesday and Lord willing we will be back on the air on the four signals
affected by this problem.
F.Y.I. 91.7 sends the signal to 91.9 Putney, and the two translators at Ascutney (91.1)
and Quechee (96.3) so when 91.7 is off these other signals are affected.
Please pray for our engineer and the tower climber’s safety and that all of the necessary
parts and pieces that are being installed will work. We are sorry for being off the air
especially for this length of time. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated.
Remember if you have broadband with your internet you can listen to The Light Network
from our web site.

1I was wondering what had been happening, fearing that somehow we had lost 91.9 her in the southeast part of the state. Thanks for the update; grace and prayers are with you.

3Thank you for the posting. I am without a radio signal in Claremont, but I can listen to the internet. I’ll pray for safety and good weather for the repair crew. It is such a blessing to have a Christian radio station. Thank you WGLV!

4Thanks so much for posting this info! I’d been thinking I should ask you if you’d do that. I appreciate knowing what’s going on “down here” in the 91.9 area.
I miss the station and will keep praying for you all.
I’ve changed my pre-sets now, but will watch this site for updates and get you back as my #1!
Thanks and God bless you all~

5It’s interesting to realize how much I depend on the encouragement I find at 91.9, and how much I miss it now that it’s been down so long. I’m praying for you all and please know how important you are to me down here in this southern area of the state (south of the “shadowlands” of Brattleboro). I could use just a few more miles of coverage to reach Northfield MA, Pioneer Valley Regional School. I keep listening anyway through the heavy static in the dead section just south of Vernon – just in case you can upgrade while repairs are made.

6I just found you on the computer. I’m just learning this. praise God, when my son is at work, I listen to you. Am praying for the repairs and your financial needs. I never realized how much I depend on your station until I lost you. Please Lord Jesus, bring the network back soon for all your children and continue to bless your people and your station. In the precious name of you Son, JESUS, Amen
