We’ve had pretty smooth sailing here lately. Maybe after those two big lightning hits last fall, anything seems like smooth sailing. As a result, we’ve been able to press on with accomplishing some of our dreams here at Radio HRGS. I even managed to mow the yard, but it wasn’t quite dry enough to get [...]

“Sometimes I think my life would make a great TV movie. It even has the part where they say, “Stand by. We are experiencing temporary difficulties.” ~Robert Brault We’ve certainly had our share of technical difficulties lately. Last week, on Friday afternoon, the FM went off the air. The link between the studios and the [...]

My dad was a carpenter who had a whole trunk full of tools — a car trunk, that is, a ’55 Chevy Bel Air trunk to be more precise. One day, when I was in the fifth or sixth grade (if I remember right), we had a huge snowstorm. Our garage was in the alley [...]

Resident Visa! It’s here at last! Well, sort of. Our lawyer in Tegucigalpa has our resident visa cards now. He was so excited that he even sent us scanned images of them. Normally, he would put them on a Sosa flight to Roatán and we would get them next day. But this time, all he [...]

What with the water well issues, the termites, and even a parade, I haven’t given you much news lately on the ramifications of the lightning strike we suffered a few weeks ago. That’s largely because there wasn’t any news until the new radio and an identical spare arrived last Thursday. I spent a few days [...]

Before I start, I need to take a moment to thank our son, Jesse, for all his awesome help with some of the behind the scenes work on this blog. He handles the hosting and did the original design for it. He just moved it to a new server that’s much faster than the old [...]

In spite of the fact that Peter and Sandi were and still are away on vacation, Mildred and I bought plane tickets to the big city — Tegucigalpa. We have been struggling with red tape for four years to get our resident visas so we could stop sending our passports to Tegucigalpa every month, praying [...]

First of all, thank you to everyone who has been praying for my medical situation. Whatever it was, it was not appendicitis, even though it hurt in exactly the right place. My guess is that the anti-spasmodic they gave me at the hospital did the trick. In a few minutes I’ll be taking my final [...]

As our friends on Facebook, already know, we made it back to Roatán Saturday in one piece, but very tired. Mildred and I had a wonderful time in Tampa. I think that we got to spend more time with Jesse and Kristin than ever before since their marriage in 2006. We got to see lots [...]

This might seem incredible, but at the moment I have no idea whether or not our AM signal is going out. We can’t receive the AM signal here at home or at the station well enough to make out anything intelligible. In fact, if I try to scan to it on our radio, it will [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
