Lite 94.3

So, what's the deal? Did they just turn off the transmitter and go home?
 
Hmmmm, there were a lot of power failures yesterday and many stations were off a minute or two. WQFN, 100.1 is on and its about 3 miles north of WLNP, 94.3. WQOR 750AM is off. WCDL's carrier is on with dead air. WCIG, 91.3 is near 750 and appears to be on. WNAK, 730 is on. I heard that Don Perkins (Double O in Norwich-Oneonta CE) is their engineer for Carbondale. I think Don lives in Endicott, maybe he hasn't got to their transmitter site yet?

Well, that would be on me - the local engineer filling in for Don. The power had been off at the WLNP transmitter site since the storm hit yesterday morning. From the original estimate of time for restoration from PPL, I left WCDL on the air awaiting the juice (not OJ). The estimate of time kept changing and when it got to officially being ???, I killed the carrier on WCDL. (WCDL's STL hops from the WLNP site, that's why there was dead air). Both stations are back on as of 10:30 Wednesday.

Another terrifying mystery solved...
Muy bueno!

Mike,

I was speaking to Paul Ciliberto up at Thunder 102, he said to say hi... I didn't know you two knew each other... best of luck with the stations.
 
Dear Lite 94.3,
Somebody tripped over the left channel wire going to your exciter, and it came out. Please reconnect to gain audio on both channels.
Thank you.
 
Turns out the cleaning service needed the outlet for the vacuum, so they unplugged the left channel. Actually, it was an STL problem. So... I recall when KRZ first went on the air, we had a pair of equalized phone lines from Franklin street to the mountain. One day I heard a telco guy who was tracking down an unrelated problem, break one of the channels and start talking onto it!

Anybody out there have weird STL stories?? Not too late for Halloween!

Mike
