Darin Ransom
Director of EngineeringDarin Ransom is JPR’s technical Superman. He’s faster than a speeding radio wave! More powerful than a winter ice storm! Able to leap up tall towers with boundless skill and courage!
Seriously, Darin keeps JPR’s 50+ transmitter and relay sites humming so our listeners can hear the programs they rely on each day. It’s a difficult task which involves working crazy hours and spending way too much time behind a windshield. In service to JPR listeners, Darin has rappelled from a helicopter on a snowy Mt. Shasta, slept in a transmitter building and fended off bears, rodents, bees and mountain lions. In between lots of hard work, Darin enjoys some of the most beautiful views the State of ÀÏ·ò×Ó´«Ã½ has to offer – from JPR communication sites on remote mountain peaks.
