This morning, I again saw warthogs on the way to the transmitter site.

Last night, the transmitter that was repaired had several PA Plate Peak Voltage trips. We spent a while this morning doing test broadcasts. None of the tests using the same frequency, antenna and power level produced the same trips. The trip level was set at 33,000 volts and with high level programming during the tests we observed only 29,000 volt peaks. We set the trip level to 35,000 volts and requested that the operator observe the peaks during this evening’s broadcast for anything higher than 29,000 volts.

In front of the transmitter building is a ‘sausage’ tree. Until last week it had no leaves with ‘sausages’ hanging from it bare branches. Then almost overnight it was full of green leaves.

For the past couple of days, I have been working on feedline drawings in my spare time. Today was trying to draw the insulator that is used for the feedline.
