Was it Lightning, Tom?

[westlife]

Yesterday at a few minutes before 1:30 PM, I tuned in 101.5 and heard a blank carrier, with no stereo pilot. A few minutes later the stereo indicator came back on, and a few minutes after that NJ101.5's audio returned as normal, cutting back on in the middle of Dennis talking. I guess either he didn't know he was off the air (?) or perhaps the 97.3 signal was still OK so he stayed on the air for those listeners.

Re: Was it Lightning, Tom? - ahhh no

No, it wasn't lightning. Keep in mind there is an
8 second "obscenity delay" so the talk show hosts
cannot listen off the air, so they keep going under
all circumstances, and let the engineers deal with it.

We made some major changes yesterday, the audio
quality is noticably improved. There were several
quick outages as connectors were being moved and
transmitters, STLs and processors were being switched.
