Summercise comes to KNOM, and a new challenge pledge for our studio construction
The days grow longer and, slowly, the temperatures are rising! The remainders of ice and snow are melting away into the ponds and streams. Alongside the warmth of summer, Nome’s Summercise has returned.
Warmer weather and a transmitter update
The temperatures have risen to almost 70 degrees! We are blessed with warmer temperatures and, at times, sunshine. We have great news. At the end of April, volunteer engineer Les Brown, longtime Alaska radio engineer Chuck Lakaytis, and maintenance specialist Rolland Trowbridge installed dynamic carrier control equipment at our AM transmitter site.
