It sounds like this location is just begging for wimax or some other suitable internet service. What kind of place can support a radio station but not an internet presence these days?
the original poster indicated the FM station was on an American Indian reservation in a very remote canyon, and the ONLY phone lines available were 2 pairs of LONG haul copper POTS lines, one currently used by the stations telephone service, the other available for modem use. They are using a microwave link to get from the station to the hilltop transmitter, but that the nearest 'real' town with a telephone CO that would support any sort of real internet service is way too far away for FM reception, even with a directional yagi.
