 The system was very reliable, with good locations, sturdy towers, clear paths, and backup power (large lead acid batteries).The four hops went from the KCBD-TV studio/transmitter tower at 5600 Avenue "A" in Lubbock to a tower at the south edge of Levelland, Texas, to a site near Lehman, Texas (not far from Morton, Texas) to a site near Crossroads, New Mexico to the actual tower at Caprock.Collins Radio provided the equipment and the system was considered "network grade," meaning that it was comparable to AT&T hops of the day.
