Storm damage..TMO stations down?

I

islanddxer

I put on 101.5 here in Nassau to hear NJ 101.5 instead, the Party translater on 101.5 seems to be down. Then I go to the website and cant seem to get Party or La Fiesta streaming. The storms seemed to have knocked out all the stations, though I cant say for sure since 105.3 and 98.5 are in Suffolk.
Definately NOT the stations to count on in severe weather! :D
 
I noticed party is down as well on 101.5. I flipped over to 105.3, as I can usually get a weak signal depending on antenna placement here in Massapequa and nothing.
 
Sometimes, NJ 101.5 is strong enough in Nassau that Party 101.5 doesn't come in.

Could you pick up 96.1, 98.5, 103.9, or 105.3? All those stations share one tower.

If 105.3 were knocked off the air, wouldn't the 101.5 translator broadcast static or simulcast WDAS if 101.5 was on the air?

105.3 is back up, but the translator is still down. At times, during dx conditions NJ 101.5 can come in strong enough that it blasts out Party's translator on 101.5, however when that is the case you can at least get some signal of Party fooling around with the antenna. Thats not happening so it appears that the translator is indeed down.

I guess you must only listen to this station and never have anything nice to say about the group. Obviously you didn't hear that over 80,000 people lost power during one of the worst lightning storms on Long Island. For that matter, there were 2 other stations that lost power as well.
 
101.5 is back up. Not sure when during the day they came back, noticed they were still down driving to the train station around 8 this morning, coming home around 7;30 I noticed they were back up
