WTJR applied for its television station construction permit on January 12, 1982. |
|||
WTJR was granted its television license February 21, 1992. |
|||
In the early days at WTJR the station was beset with some major technical challenges. The construction of an 850' x 7' face, stainless type G tower, with 36 guy wires was first on the list. The station had little finances, it was a non-profit and viewer supported. The GM at the time Carl Geisendorfer acquired a used tower, and proceeded to buy a used 18 wheel Semi and trailer and hauled the tower to Quincy Illinois one piece at a time. It was then sandblasted painted and erected. |

The first transmitter was an UHF RCA TTU1. It was off-the-air as much as on-the-air for many years. Problems with air flow, water cooling, old tubes, and intermittent electronics. This Transmitter was replaced with a used General Electric UHF TT-59a transmitter with klystron power tube. |
|||
The next transmitter was a used Harris UHF Transmitter, Harris HD-40 Sigma classic with IOT power tube. This transmitter was a laboratory test transmitter at Harris Broadcasting in Quincy Illinois. It was the only sigma at that time constructed in house (the rest came from England). This transmitter was replaced with a Harris DTV sigma CD, IOT power tube transmitter. This latter transmitter is the current transmitter. |
