97.5 W248CG Off Air?

G

GSP163

Anyone know what is going on with 97.5 W248CG as it has been off the air for a few weeks. I have been receiving WALK throughout Bergen County, New Jersey quite strong and even HD in some areas.
 
It's been off the air for a few months. It was nearly blanketing WALK in Essex County and that was more in the null than the South shore of Long Island. I imagine it was causing interference in WALK's broadcast area. In Nutley, I get both WALK and WPEN. Makes me wonder how great I would've had 97.5 when it was PST and in Trenton.

In Clifton, WALK was always the dominant station on that frequency until W248CG arrived. I don't remember ever receiving WPST when it was on 97.5 back then. With W248CG off the air, WPEN has made scattered appearances even under normal conditions.
 
They have a construction permit to move from Jersey City to Manhattan. Higher power and height but more restrictive directional pattern. Perhaps they are doing some work on that.

Before the translator, WALK used to be mixed with a pirate station from Newark/Oranges. I didn't notice I could get WPEN (although weak) under normal conditions until W248CG went off the air for a bit a few years ago and I could get it in a certain spot. The last week I've been getting WPEN more mixed in but I also been getting 95.1 WAYV off and on. Could be the constant temperature changes
