Party 105.3 stereo carrier missing

[islanddxer]

Seems to have been this way since there were some bad storms last week, I guess it has to do with that.
105.3 has no stereo carrier (mono) and 101.5 has a stereo carrier but mono audio. I'm guessing it has to do with the numerous lightning strikes due to that storm. Someone that I know over in Yaphank had lightning strike 2 of their trees that day! I'm guessing the big stick in Manorville got struck and it fried the Stereo genset.

Party 105 had stereo problems in the past, I'm not surprised

seems to be just fine now... also seem to be getting 101.5 signal very strong further west in Nassau!

Now I know why I am hearing Part 105.3 in mono and not stereo....I thought my ears were gone on my head.

To be honest, on my way to the Palisades in Rockland county, I was able to pick up Party on 101.5 and sounded as clear if I was in Nassau, with the stereo carrier and all.

I was about the say the same thing....I was on Route 9W the other day in Southern Rockland and I was shocked that I was able to pick up 101.5 pretty clearly.....However, right over the hill WPDH with a mix of WKXW takes over quickly.

I was surprised to receive a choppy signal of Party 105 on 101.5 in Central Queens (Main Street area in Flushing near the LIE)...it's the first time I've been able to pick up their 101.5 translator in Queens anywhere other than right along the border with Nassau County. And despite the stereo carrier being on, the audio sounded mono to me.
