Hopefully he will be OK. It was quite impressive to see the tower crews that would work on the WQLN tower while I was there. Of course Mother Nature forced our hand to go 100% digital after the lightning strike in September of ’08. It was a lot of work to convert the station and they deserve a lot of credit for taking the risks that they do.
