KPFT Status Report - Still off the air
by From Duane and Ernesto, sent to KPFT lists

An email from the General Manager and Program Director.
The station has been aired out and awaits power. Steve Brightwell has
informed me a tower crew will be out probably tomorrow to check on
the STL dish and to assess the tension on the guy wires on the tower.
They may need to be replaced after the stretching they received thanks
to Ike.
We hope to have power restored at the station in the next day or so,
still dark on day 5 at the station, the transmitter and many of our
homes. Staff have been contacted daily and all are busy dealing with
family, self and neighbors.
I greatly appreciate all your kind thoughts and patience with us
during these trying times. Know we all appreciate you being there for
us and for each other.
I hope to be able to communicate to you from the KPFT studios soon!
Stay strong with us,
Peace,
Duane
----------------------------------
Essentially, we hope to be on shortly, but have no timetable at this
point. Power at the station and transmitter are still out, and, once
operational, equipment needs to be reset and assessed. We hope to
offer positive calls and email by Friday to this effect, but
broadcasts remain suspended until further notice.
Thanks for your good energies.
