KKWE-FM licensed to the White Earth Land Recovery Project in Callaway, MN has been silent for almost 6 months. Reasons mentioned were financial mismanagement, equipment failure due to improperly trained and unauthorized airstaff adjusting the transmitter resulting in a tube & filter failure and the fact that CFO assaulted a contractor. To add insult to injury several area radio stations have filed objections to a license renewal. 3 engineers have done likewise. Needless to mention reliable reports from the inside have it that they are in the NAL process and may be getting a hefty fine real soon, and the studios have been broken into with many servers stolen and equipment damaged.
Most of this has appeared in a local paper along with begging for funds to get back on the air.
Word in a former engineer is getting daily calls from KKWE's transmitter site by the alarm system installed in the building.
It is also known they have been told that the FCC wanted to inspect the facility again before the transmitter was turned on again they have failed to do that. Yet, they are not broadcasting full time as of yet.
