Radio Communication System Maintenance
at Tinuay wildlife protection station
(Head Quarter)

             During the maintenance mission on February 2006 latly, WFCC served primary inspection on radio communication system at Tinuay wildlife protection station and found that the 8 stacks folded dipole was getting damaged. May 19, 2006 during the way back from the meeting held for WWF at Tilaipa Wildlife Station, WFCC intended to served maintenance for the radio communication system of Tinuay. The dipole was reinstalled for intensive inspection and several damaged positions founded. Some caused by wrong out of skill repair and several fraction can not be reused, however, it was mainly caused by expiry and lack of maintenance.

           Although, the handover ceremony of Construction Projects of The Radio Network Communication Systems, Solar Cell System and the Central Radio Network Communication Station of Thungyai was completed since 3rd March 2006, maintenance works still in continue. As all the process completed and equipped following target schedule, by the same time, all  expensive necessary and supplementary supplies WFCC prepared were also handed over to register as and under the Forest Department's asset and responsibility.

            To serve maintenance, WFCC provided 120 meters of 8 DFB foam antenna with some necessary equipment for replacement. On this regards, Mr. Chalorng Champa-ngern, Thungyai officer, arranged 6 rangers experienced in radio communication field to support the mission.

            It was drizzly rain at around 4 pm. However, the officer had to climb up on a light weigh unstable 60 meters guyed wire antenna tower. The top pieces just connected to each other with no sling to its base, and the bolt on top was not tightened. It can be said that the antenna tower of Tinuay was less secure than of other units.

             No matter how dangerous it was, the process had to be continued. Ground staffs unraveled rope and radio cable while Mr. Keng and Mr. Berm, the climbers, ordered neccessary equipment and fastened security belt. Then, they carefully stepped upto the slippery tower on each other side to take balance. By their skill and experience, the two climbers process swiftly and safely climb down.

          After high-work completed and the worksite was cleared, Mr. Keng inspected cable’s function and work load by SWR electronic monitoring machine. Then, he checked both receiver and transceiver signal to Hermit Hill central radio network station until everything set in function. The radio communication system will fully operated and directly contact the head office of Thungyai instead of passing to its checkpoint.
