Heaven 88.7 Status Update – November 2024

Hello friends of Heaven 88.7,

We have been running on a temporary, 800-watt Antenna for one month now. In the meantime, we were getting quotes from various companies for a new antenna. After negotiating a good price, we purchased a Shively antenna. Before we could buy it though, we needed to have an engineer approve it, so that we know that the weight it puts on the tower, including in windy conditions or when covered in ice, is acceptable. In the end, this was all successful.

The antenna took some time to manufacture, and now has been shipped and will likely arrive sometime in the next week. Then we’ll need to have the tower climbers climb the tower, lower the old antenna, winch up the new antenna piece by piece, and install it. All of this is quite an ordeal, which is why the labor costs will probably run more than the antenna itself. We also need to have good conditions. If we happen to get freezing rain anytime soon this could throw the plans off. So pray for good weather.

We are still in need of more financial support to cover these costs. We purchased the antenna in faith that our listeners are alongside us to help us with this expense. When we’re fully on-air again, we’ll talk more about the need. If you want to donate online, visit KFBN.org, or mail a check to PO Box 107, Fargo, ND 58107.

Thank you for praying with us. Being back on air at full power (100,000 watts) is now in sight!
