Greater Cleaner Coverage.
May2
Wednesday, May the 11th, the crew headed back out to take another crack at cleaning up the signal of 103.5fm in Syracuse. It was a beautiful day and one might say ordained of the Lord. The sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and I imagined what it must have been like for Abraham the father of us all. They stood on that hill overlooking the city and the lakes Onondaga and Oneida wondering how many people would be impacted by our Lord Jesus, as He would open up His word and promises to them as He did to Abraham on Mount Moriah so many years ago. We may never know just how many people have come to know Christ or yet will come to know Him through the broadcast of the Gospel on WZXV,
but that’s not what we are called to know. Our call is to proclaim the Gospel to every creature, it’s the Holy Spirit’s job to do the rest.
So they took up their cross that day and followed their call. They were there to take down an existing antenna and replace it with one more suitable for the job while contemplating the idea of moving the antenna mount to the south/west corner of the building, something that would have made the project more involved. The premise was that we were receiving interference on our receive antenna due to structures and foliage directly in front of us, as you can see in the picture below.
Before
So they prayed, sought the Lord’s wisdom and began unhooking everything. They thought, why not hook up the new antenna first in a manner that would push us out away from the antenna mount and center us optimally to the other structures and trees there on the hill? So they did just that as you can see from this image.
After
They were surprised at the immediate clarity of the signal. Two of the crew decided to drive around Syracuse and check out the signal strength while another member of the team began the process of taking apart the old receive antenna and lowering it to the ground from the roof. They drove through Nedrow and made our way over to East Syracuse, Kirkville and finally made their way over to Liverpool. They were greatly pleased with what the Lord had done and the wisdom He had given to our engineer team. Praise the Lord. We can’t wait to see the fruit of God’s work in the lives of those in Syracuse. We are not any stronger, signal wise, but the clarity is tremendous as we are high above any obstructions and able to reach areas that we were not able to before. Thank you for all of your prayers, words of encouragement and your financial support. Just when we are tempted to take this ministry for granted, the Lord uses listeners like yourself to remind us what we are doing, why we are doing it and who we are doing it for. Please tell your loved ones about WZXV in the Syracuse area on 103.5fm.
