Peter and I were hard at work after midnight this morning. Yesterday was the day we’d set for installing the “new” refurbished FM computer. It would have been much easier if we actually could have installed it. I use the term “‘new’ refurbished” because none of the computers for our dual language project are new. [...]

I love it when a plan comes together!!

Yes, indeed, we are now on the air all day in English and all day in Spanish. The liftoff was this morning and went off without a hitch. We go on the air at 5:00 AM, so Peter and I both got there a little ahead of time to move the AM feed to the [...]

Thinking of home
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
We’re starting to get more and more into the mood to head back to Roatán. Last night Mildred and I had what we think is our last church engagement in Ohio. (There is still one more in the Tampa area.) We spent some time sharing with the youth group at Open Arms Christian Church north [...]
Maintaining a transmitter and an aging body
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
I love it when a plan comes together – even if I’m on plan “D” when it happens. Plan “A” was to go to La Ceiba on Monday morning and go straight to the medical center downtown for an ultrasound to try to discover the source of my mystery pains. Then I would proceed on [...]
Audio Update – Week of February 1, 2010
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
Alrighty! Here is this week’s HRGS Audio Update and the story of Peter’s no-fun ending to a Sunday afternoon basketball game. I’ll let the audio speak for itself. The news on my shoulder is that it’s doing much better. The doctor gave it a second injection yesterday and told me to keep throwing that ball [...]

So Much to Thank Him For
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
The title for this blog entry is also the name of a very popular song here on Radio HRGS. It’s sung by a southern gospel group that, in my humble opinion, can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Don’t get me wrong – I like southern gospel, but these folks are not even close to [...]
A Mini-Milestone and an Incredible Statistic
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
Do you remember the scene in the Star Wars movie where young Anakin Skywalker first fired up his pod racer? He loudly announced the obvious to all who could hear over the engine noise, “It’s workinnnnggg!!!” Jim Avella and I had a moment a little like that this week. Several months ago, the radio station [...]
Audio Update – Week of September 7
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
Yesterday, I went to church down in Flowers Bay. Mildred didn’t go because her hives were really bothering her. More about that later. What was interesting was a story I heard from the pulpit. Pastor Felix was out of commission due to the flu, so a layman from Coxen Hole, Junior Allen, preached. He did [...]

End of an Era
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
We’ve had some big, big days here at HRGS. Friday afternoon, Ken Anderson and I dropped the old FM transmitter tower. It was the end of an era and we’re looking forward to what we hope will be lots of years of service from the new system. Then, on Saturday, a team of three man [...]
Closest Thing to a Normal Week
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
It was a little difficult to think of a title for this weekend’s blog. The most notable thing about the week is that nothing really notable happened. In that regard, I suppose you could call it a normal week. But if it’s practically the first one we’ve ever had, how can it be normal? No [...]
Normal? What’s that?
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
Well, we’re starting to return to what we laughingly refer to as normal around here. Chuck and Donna returned to Florida on Thursday, and Gene and Evan are flying back to the States today. We had a wonderful time with them all and Donna was a big help around the house, but I think Mildred [...]
Hot, Humid, and Almost Perfect
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
That just about sums up today. Yesterday was so windy that Peter had no chance of aligning the antennas and the forcast was for more wind today. We’re glad the forecast was dead wrong and the winds were dead calm. It was really muggy, but the calm air that was part and parcel with the [...]
