Here are the latest photos and some background for Projects in Progress.

September 2008 saw a major step in the plan to move WUVT’s transmitter from the campus of Virginia Tech on to Price’s Mountain in the surrounding county. Armed with a Bobcat and some willpower, volunteers from WUVT went to work.

This is a pile of 16 tons of gravel. This is just the start of the work.

WUVT Chief Engineer Kevin Sterne drives the Bobcat up the hill. We had it for 24 hours, and made the most of it.

With Sterne at the helm, the stump of a tree is removed. The stump was where our communications building will be set.

Gravel is put down over a cleared area. A former Virginia State Police building will be put here and used by WUVT.

There is still one stump left to be removed on top of the mountain. More steps need to be taken, such as electrical and telephone installation. February 2009 can’t come soon enough.
