Crystal Lake Radio 88.1 FM as of 29/May/2010
There is the possibility that a micro power radio station will be
operated near the Visitor Center which will provide repeated information
about fire hazards, bear difficulties, and other issues that may change
from day to day.
The radio station that's being considered would operate with about a
quarter of a watt and the transmitter would not have an actual antenna.
The coverage of the radio would be just enough to cover the main parking
lot, and would be located on a radio frequency that's not currently in
use by any station within reach up in the canyon.
In the future if there's a need to extend radio coverage to the actual
camp sites in the canyon -- excluding the Deer Flats Group Campground --
the wattage would be increased to half a watt.
The possibility of this radio coverage has increated somewhat since
October 2008 as more is learned about the legalities of running micropower
project-specific and area-specific radio transmitters.
