We are moving forward with the installation of equipment at the Millcreek (Eagles Peak) site.  Preliminary wiring ect is being completed and equipment is delivered on site.  We will start the actual installation next week.  Without any unforeseen problems developing we would expect this site to go live within a couple of weeks. It is a very high profile site and may require some tweaking but it should be operational in relatively short period of time.

The new tower has been erected at the Annville Cleona High School.  We will be switching the school’s antennas to the new tower shortly and then the old  one will be removed. 

We are currently working with the school and their architect to design an addition to the current maintenance building next to the tower.  This addition will house the radio and support equipment (generator) for this addition to the system.  The time frame for this roll out will be dependent on several factors, the response from architects for the design, the need to bid the construction and the actual construction time line.  We are hopeful that this part of the system is operational by late fall 2008.

We anticipate that upon completion of this site for the radio system we will move the current paging base to this new tower from the current downtown Annville location.
