If you’re curious what the views are like from the ridge on Bald Mountain these days, enjoy the pix below.  These were taken on Saturday, when Gary, SPR’s VP of Engineering, and Brian, SPR Pack Mule, trekked up to the Electronics Site to install the new KBCO CD promo, and do some proactive maintenance. Winter treks aren’t taken lightly. Gary drives his snowmachine through the backcountry behind his cabin, and meets Brian at the Emmitt Load “trailhead” on Baldy Road. The boys ride together to a point just up from the Mill, where Brian dismounts and climbs the rest because the trail is too steep for two snomachine riders. It takes Brian about 45 min. to climb to the Electronics Site at 12,800 ft. Gary’s there in less than 5...

Keep your eyes open for a new Summit Public Radio ad that will appearing soon in the 2011 Lake Dillon Theater Foundation Program Guide. Our new ad summarizes who we are and our value prop in just a few words. Many thanks to volunteers Steve Smith and Leslie Baer for their last minute help in optimizing our “trial” logo for print publications. Wanna sneak preview? Wish granted! We also were playing with an alternative headline, “Silence is NOT golden.” Like this one better? Before you go, leave us some feedback below.

We’re looking for a volunteer who can help us create graphics for use in advertising or on the Web.  You don’t have to be a member of the board, just be available from time-to-time to help us do a better job in this area. Contact: volunteer@summitpublicradio.org

We had a great Board meeting last night.  Even though the weather was cold, almost all of our members were there.  A lot of interesting and exciting topics were discussed.  Our power requirements and the possibility of increasing our use of alternative energy.  How far we can go with providing free Digital TV to Summit County.  Getting involved in WiFi.  And of course, our newly energized marketing efforts to create awareness of what we actually do. The bottom line is… we can’t accomplish all we want to do with our current membership.  We need help!  Over the next several days we’ll be posting the volunteer opportunities here, on Twitter, Facebook, and our website.   Keep checking in, or contact us now...
