Kona 100.5 LPFM will install a new radio tower to expand radio coverage on the island of Kona, which relies on good communications to deliver messages not just in times of emergency, but also in their everyday lives. The current radio signal does not penetrate the hilly zones that border the coastal areas, leaving community members without contact. This project will relocate a 150′ Radio Tower to repurpose it for a repeater in the South Kona area to further enhance the community FM Radio signal coverage.
