We have finally installed the new audio link between our studio and transmitter. Already there have been some improvements in audio quality and of course it was the only choice we had to get an audio signal to the top of the mountain. We are still tweaking to get better volume and dynamic range; you may hear two seconds of silence if we need to reset the equipment after an adjustment. We still need financial assistance from our listeners and underwriters with the monthly fees (which skyrocketed up to $3000 a month somehow). This price hike was even after we removed the telephone company's obsolete equipment from the audio chain and informed them of the cancellation. That will be a one time expense once it is taken care of.

WVFA has a way to receive tax-deductible donations, if that has been a hindrance to our donors ability to give to support the operations of the station. If you are inclined to make a donation and would like an IRS approved tax deduction, please make your check out to Upper Valley Christian Communications Fellowship (a similar 501(c)3 compliant organization which supports Christian radio stations in a manner akin to GMEF) instead of Green Mountain Educational Fellowship, but continue to send donations to GMEF's mailing address of

Please include the name of the taxpayer who will be receiving the deduction, we are required to use that name when preparing a giving receipt. All funds sent to UVCCF in this manner will be used for WVFA operational expenses.
