part of the recently mandated signal “repack”. This temporary status is
due to unavoidable delays in tower crew availability required given the
multiple stations across the country going through the same process. We
are trying to expedite the situation and will keep you informed of
changes. We appreciate your viewership and thank you for your patience. </div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">Friday 11/8/19 - WHIO Climbers have been working for days on the tower, which is almost 1,000
feet in the air – the equivalent of a 10-story building. In addition to
the dangerous conditions, rain and ice have stymied progress. On Friday,
the tower crew discovered more extensive damage than previously
thought, which will require more time to repair.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;"><br><img class="img-responsive" src="https://www.whio.com/rf/image_lowres/Pub/p10/WHIO/2019/11/05/Images/tower%20replacement.jpg" id="U22008715722ytO"><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Fred Stone <w8lly@twc.com><br>To: daun <daun@yeagley.net><br>Cc: mvarbb@bellbrookarc.org <mvarbb@bellbrookarc.org>; BARC <BARC@BellbrookARC.org>; XWARN <Reflector@xwarn.net>; DARA (Yahoo Group) <DARAW8BI@yahoogroups.com>; Upper Valley ARC <uvarck8fbn@gmail.com><br>Sent: Fri, Nov 8, 2019 2:15 am<br>Subject: Re: [XWARN] WHIO outage<br><br></div><div id="yiv9767622985">
