Like most radio station operators, Border Media Partners use satellite dishes to pick up various nationally syndicated programs.  They also uplink some of their own programming from places like Dallas and San Antonio to be received by satellite at other cities.

Here is their Austin headquarters.  Two of these dishes are motorized so that they can change satellites at a moment's notice.

So you've got all this great programming from your satellite dishes, now how do you get it to the trasmitter sites.  That is where the STL(Studio to Transmitter Link) dishes come into play.

Dishes are often located with the transmitter so like this one, they end up "outstanding in their field"

How do you control a transmitter so remote the phone lines don't even work?  By two way satellite of course!

Many more Border Media Partners pictures coming.  I installed 2 at their brand new studio in Laredo, 3 at their brand new studio in McAllen and 4 at their brand new studio in Austin.  All done in February and March of 2006 during which time I missplaced my camera.  These guys are growing fast!
