What's Rick up to?

Literally Rick has been up! He's been working on the radio almost non stop. Going up to King mountain has been a common trip.
The radio is a community radio station. All of this is volunteer. It's a legal, high power station, something he has dreamed of all his life. All community run. People in the community can have shows and then when there are no shows, Rick fills in with music. He does a lot of oldies, on Sundays he play Christian music. He has offered Church's to be able to play their Sunday sermons over the air.

Looks like it's almost up and running.

You can see Rick under the tower
I think that's Jon at the bottom of the tower.
Rick usually takes one or two of the boys with him. Paul got to go once too. Some dads take their boys hiking, hunting etc. Rick takes them up mountain tops to climb radio towers!

  1. Wow! Congratulations Rick! That's pretty exciting, especially when I remember you climbing the tallest eucalyptus tree in the neighborhood--did you put an antennae on the tree too? I can't remember. I should have known your climbing days weren't over... Hope you'll let me know when the station is actually up and running.
