That she does.
And remember, folks, I'm HERE! I feel like I'm being talked about behind my back, or in front of my virtual face.
The vast, amazing staff at OMW, every single one of us, is indeed "standing by" the target date of December 11th, weather permitting. But that's basically because we haven't heard anything to derail us from that at this point.
We did make it rather clear, though, that time appears to be of the essence.
Look at the picture posted on the most recent item. As of Monday afternoon, there was finally a gravel road back there. But they have to get even a temporary building in there, move in the usual radio equipment, and most importantly, start getting steel up in the air.
Then, they have to test the thing, once that's all done...and that takes a while.
Could they still make 12/11? Possibly. CC certainly has the resources as a company to put things into motion, or I guess more accurately at this point, help Cumulus do so. But weather will put them off their game from at least late today into Saturday, so that's nearly three days out of the schedule. (Again, say after me, "weather permitting".)
Yeah, we're kinda bemused at the direct sourcing in the newspaper, too, as we put up the other day. We're flattered, of course, but...I do remember the days where newspapers didn't reprint anonymous Internet postings as first hand sources. I'm old that way.
