Listeners to 96.5 FM BFBS / FIRS radio programmes may have noticed that the coverage and quality of the signal has improved since the repair of the mast and the antenna system for this transmitter by KTV Limited. 

From the 19^th to the 26^th of November 2005, KTV Limited with the help of three professional riggers from a subcontractor in Chile carried out the emergency repairs to the FIG / BFBS 72 Metre tall mast on Sappers Hill, which supports the antennas for the BFBS Television and Radio service for the Stanley Area.

Riggers and technicians involved in the operation were Herman Corvalan, Juan Perez, Juan Ramirez, Luis Bahamonde Salasar and Mario Zuvic.

Photos of the men at work can be found on SARTMA.COM and falklandnews.com.
