I relocated from Irving, Texas to Winter Garden, Florida to work for the DCP (Disney College Program) Internship at WDW (Walt Disney World) for a year and I have became a WDW part-time cast member. I stayed at the FCV (Flamingo Crossings Village) - West near Western Way and Hartzog Road.
I lived-in a unit on the fourth floor of building 35 at FCV West for my 12 months in the DCP. I was able to pick-up a lot of stations I enjoy over-the-air for both Tampa and Orlando area from my bedroom. My favorites are WDUV, WMTX, WMGF, WOCL, WMMO, and WWRZ. I was relocated to the fourth floor of building 24 at the same community in July 2024 after the end of my DCP and that I became a PT CM at WDW.
Building 24 is at the southeast corner of the FCV West community, bldg 35 is at the northwest corner. I can pick-up WDUV HD1’s signal most of the time from the 4th floor of bldg 35, but WDUV hardly comes into the 4th floor of bldg 24.
I had noticed something funny and I couldn’t recall if this is due to me moving from building 35 to building 24 after the end of my Disney College Program Internship. I used to be able to pick-up WOCL HD’s signal very well since I lived in bldg 35 from July 2023 to July 2024. I don’t remember, but I think the last time I see WOCL in HD is around March or May of 2024. It could be I’m staying at building 24 now even WOCL, WMMO, and WMGF all comes in clearly for me at bldg 24 and my HD Radio is more stable locked onto WMGF-HD1 than it was when I was staying at building 35. Sometimes WMGF’s analog reception was so poor at building 35, I ended up listening to WMTX which comes in strong from Tampa and WMTX’s HD signal stay locked on my radio.
I had always had a solid 5 out of 5 bars on my Sangean HDR-18 HD Radio receiver for WOCL from both building 24 and 35, but just analog and solid RDS. No HD since July.
From my experience, the Sony XDR-F1HD, Sangean HDT-20, and Sangean HDT-16 that I have and left at my parents’ house in Irving, Texas is able to pick-up most Dallas-Ft. Worth stations including KDGE, KJKK, KSPF, and KZPS pretty well. The Sangean HDT-20 usually picks-up around 2-4 bars out of 5 for most Dallas-FW stations. I know the Sony is better than the Sangean. I expect the same capabilities I have with the Sangean HDR-18 I have here at the FCV in Winter Garden, Florida.
So, is it my new unit location within my apartment community or did something happen? Has WOCL’s HD signal has been off for quite some time this Summer 2024 or am I simply not receiving WOCL’s HD signal? Did WOCL reduced the ERP of their HD signal?
