Basin Television completes new rhombic antenna
Basin Television has finished a large rhombic antenna for the local fringe TV area. The triple rhombic design spans 850 feet, uses copper clad steel, and sits in a bowl shaped ravine on the west side of Asphalt Ridge to minimize interference. It enhances signal quality, covers more of the sight, and preserves the old multiple yagics system for emergencies. CBS reception may be limited to special events, while Salt Lake stations become viewable. Local visitors include Colonel and Mrs Richards from Provo on The Artene Francis show, Norman Dean on The Price Is Right, Willard Hazelbush of the Denver Post on The Big Story, and Bill Hurst on Washington Interview.
