The other day I was asked to help the chief engineer at KRCW by accompanying him to a transmitter site out in the mountains of south east of Portland. Pat has either driven, snow catted, snowmobiled, and snowshoed to this transmitter literally hundreds of times. He is one of those guys that 99% of what he does is unseen (and under-appreciated at times.) I made the below video on a whim (20 minutes on iMovie) to "dramatize" my ride up there. Seriously though, it is a LONG haul and driving a snow cat is no easy feat (I tried for 10 minutes.)
A very special thanks to Pat who included me on this job and allowing me to experience something that very few have had the opportunity to experience in person. Pat is a humble guy who will never ever admit to the amount of behind the scenes work he does. He works hard for the sake of keeping your television signal top notch.
(I will try to improve the quality of the you tube video as soon as I figure it out.)
