KILI-FM, the award winning radio station on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, is back on the air after two months of silence.
KILI went down in April after its tower and transmission line were struck by lightning during a major storm. A loaned antenna and replacement line put the station back on the air on June 7.
The equipment allows the station to be heard up to 50 miles away. KILI is still being broadcast on the Internet.
Permanent equipment is due October 1 and KILI is awaiting word on a federal grant.
