KJIV 89.1 FM

once again the tech gods are frowning—no wait! they’re smiling now…

11:30am-from France to Florida in only minutes. What a world. 96.5 is back on with new software and now we wait to see if it’s holds up and actually does it’s job. Please let me know if anything goes awry on your side. Thanks, ~laz  e: laz@jiveradio.org

10:45am-I’m less than thrilled to report that our Madras transmitter has a software failure acting as I write and the factory is hopefully scurrying around in their fumbly French way looking for the updated version.

So, 96.5 is silent for at least a few hours while we wait to fix. Par le voux? Oui?

High Desert of Oregon Rocks Again

We are happy to report that we believe most of the ghosts have been drummed out of our machines on 96.5 Madras facility. Thanks to all the helpers who joined the fight.

KJIV is now at full power and should be soundin’ better ‘n ever.

Let us know what you’re hearing: laz@jiveradio.org

Big Fail not Fake News

UPDATE May 19:

A horrible run of failing hardware and software, coinciding with the replacement of our THIRD main antenna (for 96.5 Madras) conspired this week to mess up many aspects of our operations for over 3 days. Things are back on track…so far…and we’re hoping for smooth sailing ahead, with some more debugging to be sure.

Madras remains at very low power while the tower crew troubleshoots installation issues.

The stream should be good.

So, thanks for checking in and stay tuned (up)! ~laz

———–

A major equipment failure at our Madras, Oregon transmitter site knocked out not only KJIV 96.5 for Central Oregon, it killed our stream. Our crack technical crew is working on it and hopes to have it all back by the end of today (17may).

Thanks for caring—-stay tuned (up)! ~laz
