There is dead air at 93.9 in western Lancaster County. Once you go past landisville exit of 283, comes in real clear. Been listening on and off ths week, on friday I heard them saying Ocean 100, playing what ever we want. Now it is dead air again. Anyone know what is going on?

checked on the internet. the only "OCEAN 100" listed is up off Newfoundland on Prince Edward Island in Canada. might have been some crazy signal bouncing off the atmosphere.
The whole thing does not make sense, as soon as you go past the landisville exit, it starts to come in, and Salunga exit real strong. I dont go any further then that, if anyone drives up to Harriburg area, I would love to know how far up 283 it goes, still dead air as of tonight.
Since that station is actually 100.3, someone could be putting their streaming audio on a low power pirate.
Hi Vet guy, I noticed it was off the air on saturday, what is your source to this info. thanks
One of the FCC engineers working out of the Philadelphia branch. He also indicated that they had been working in this area last week, but did not say on what. Could have easily been a non-broadcast issue. Either way it was easy for them to find the source. I imagine it would be daunting to have an FCC inspector knock on your door to ask obout your unlicensed FM transmitter.
One of their guys I think lives in Harrisburg and travels through this area quite often. They have been regularly checking for a pirate operating from the 200 or 300 block of South Queen Street in Lancaster running a Hispanic religious format.

Is that the one on 106.3? That's been there for years--and busted a few times too.
As an amateur radio operator who apparently lives close to where this pirate signal was strongest at, I'm sad to know that they would use the equipment like that. It sure puts a black eye in the ham radio community. I hope at the very least they confiscate the equipment and pull their FCC issued license.
I imagine on the first offense it would be, shut it down and don't do it again. In today's legal world I believe they need the OK from a Federal attorney to confiscate the equipment first, and there have been a number of legal cases where they had to give the equipment back, assuming you had the right lawyer working for you. I think one minister broadcasting in Lancaster many years ago on AM used an attorney from the Detroit area and got all the equipment back from the FCC.
