This station, which is supposed to translate WKDN, has been airing static with just a trace of WKDN for over a week now...

I don't intend for this to sound mean (and don't want to start a flamewar), but it's been like that for a week, and no one complained? It wasn't touched or noticed? I could be wrong, they may have been having troubles and been working on it all week... but if it went a week without anyone noticing, is it really necessary for them to squeeze a translator onto the dial?
Translators are secondary services ... anyone could apply for a full educational
station on the frequency and knock them off. No one has, and this one has been
on the air for something like 20 years. It can only be heard right around Atlantic City,
the main station is in Camden. Obviously, they don't drive down every day and listen
to it. Unless a listener calls (and she may have died by now) they don't know when
it has problems. It's not a big deal. Band conditions wreak havoc with reception
close to the shore, and WKDN (which I monitor for EAS) takes a hit from Ocean City
Maryland quite often, and I'm sure that WPUR on 107.3 a mile from their 106.9
receiver doesn't help. We don't know for sure that it was off "all week" or just the
couple of times Jason tuned in.

89.3 was beautifully re-transmitting WRXS in full stereo without even a trace of static yesterday...

Oops.
Think they'll mind?
