Airwaves & Liberty

Howdy y’all,

As of 10:30am central time, Monday, September 22, KPFT returned to the air.
We are currently operating via internet streaming.
We are fully powered at both our studio and transmitter sites.
We have restored phone service and internet service at both sites; though we are experiencing some gltiches with both.
We are transmitting an internet stream at present as we have no STL microwave link from studio to transmitter site.
We are in the process of assessing systems at both locations and plan to resume regular programming on Tuesday morning, September 23 at 8am.
Presently we are broadcasting BBC News via our C-band satellite dish link to Public Radio International.
The Ku-band dish which we use to access Pacifica programming remains disabled.
The STL tower at the station sustained some damage and remains non-functional; at this time this represents our biggest technical challenge to returning to full functionality.

We appreciate all your concern and good thoughts.
Thanks for all you do for the cause.
Staying strong in Houston.

Peace,
Duane
