Marquette, MI  –  July 3, 2018  –  These fine men are working extra hard this holiday week!

Todd Noordyk, Luke Noordyk, Joe Mueller, and Tim Piirala are on site at one of our towers, and have climbed to the top at 700ft the last two days! They are repairing the signal of 92.7 WRPP Real Classic Rock after the antenna was damage from a lightning strike. The guys will also be improving the signal of 89.3 and 88.9 KLOVE!

Have these four amazing men in your thoughts this holiday week as they fix and improve your favorite radio stations. Also a shout out to their families who love and worry about them while they are working and climbing.

Thank you listeners for being patient while the repairs are being done. Prayers for their safety and a quick repair are appreciated.

From all of us here at Great Lakes Radio Inc., we wish you a safe and happy Fourth of July!
