CX-018559: Very High Frequency Radio System Upgrades, Mount Spokane and Schweitzer Mountain Radio Stations

Bonneville Power Administration proposes to upgrade its very high frequency radio system at two sites in its Spokane Radio Region. The upgrades would include the replacement and addition of equipment at Bonneville Power Administration’s existing Mount Spokane Radio Station, establishment of a new Bonneville Power Administration radio presence at Schweitzer Mountain Radio Station, and the establishment of a microwave beam path between the two radio sites. The upgrades would replace Bonneville Power Administration’s aging very high frequency radio system with a simple, modern radio system with improved voice coverage for remote field personnel.
