reception of CT stations as ESB Transmitter issues are being resolved

O

Ozman

Has Anyone besides me noticed being able to get a few of the Hartford stations a little bit better than normal down towards Stamford? Unfortunately, it looks like light FM 106.7 has a full Back-up so no luck with 106.9 CCC but I am noticing radio 104.1 is coming in a lot more in Norwalk area more.
any of you notice any differences in reception?


Quoted from Scott Fybush:
turns out there's a problem with the power divider that feeds the upper and lower portions of the Empire master FM antenna. Most of the stations are running half-power on just the top bays of the master antenna while repairs are being made and replacement parts brought in (some of the transmission line is burned out as well). Other stations are on backup sites. Could take a few days to get everything back to normal...
 
Hot 97 isn't on the ESB master antenna that's affected. It's on what's called the "mini-master," along with 95.5 and 101.1.

103.5, like the other Clear Channel FMs, is operating from 4 Times Square until the ESB antenna is fixed. That's a full-power backup facility with coverage that's nearly identical to Empire (higher power, lower antenna.)
