Originally, per Joe Wlasitz,
all the sites had 71 A or B radios,
except Stewart to Meziadin had a 74 radio.
Per the log book the 71A radio to Terrace,
from Kitsum site was removed in 1970,
and replaced with a Wireline,
possibly thru the Kitsumkalum Repeater,
in front of the Kalum Motel.
I am starting to believe this repeater was added,
after awhile, also to improve levels to Terrace.
Per the log book, Birke Brookbank and Dennis Hull
struggled to equalize the first wireline.

The first Kitsumkalum site was a branch off the old Ski Hill road.
Only a few miles from town, up the old Nass Rd,
this one room building had a little propane emergency Onan,
and the radio bays, and that was about it.
Later on a battery bank was added.
When this building was removed,
it was found to have the floor under this battery bank
eaten away by a porcupine.
It was holding on by a thread.
What a surprise it would have gotten with one more bite!

This site was fed by Hydro via the Kitsumkalum Reserve at the bottom of the hill.
In the winter time we would get trees down on this line and have to snowshoe
up the hill and see if and where that was the problem.
It was not a fun part of the job.  Found out real quick how out of shape I was.
