Good day on the mountaintop
Today was a pretty good day at the Boutillier tower site. Unfortunately this is the second solid day without grid power up there, so the generator has been running all the time we have been up there. This makes for a lot of heat and noise issues. Today I wore ear plugs which helped a bit. Last night I was having trouble hearing after the entire day within 3-6' of the running generator. (No, it is not sound attenuated).
We did shut the station and generator down for about 10 minutes to make some electrical modifications, but these are still temporary and we will have to do it again once I can actually work on the generator. Hopefully EDH will turn the power back on so the generator can be idle and this work will get done in short order. If not, then we will shut the station down for a an extended period tomorrow and make the changes anyway. We were able to get the battery banks tied into the Inverter and we are hoping for power tomorrow to charge the battery bank. One way or another, Wednesday is the day for bringing the batteries on line and doing some cleaning up. If pictures appear on this post it is because the Internet is better. If not, I will post some when I can get to the radio station tomorrow or Thursday.
Know for sure that the Lord has been blessing us in our times fo fellowship as a team as well as with the Haitian workers here who do love the Lord. The traveling has also been long each day, but in spite of seeing most Haitian trucks and cars looking like they have been in numerous accidents we have not witnessed a single crash. Maybe some close calls, but even road rage does not seem to be an issue here. We are still here for 4 days though, so would appreciate your continued prayers.
