Narrative:
We routinely lose radio contact on TEX2's inbound to 1ms8 at 3;000 MSL. As previously reported the trees around the main transmitter site need to be removed. They have grown to the point that they are hindering radio coverage. While this may be a routine occurrence; what happens when routine turns into an emergency?
