There are no pending technical changes at any of these stations.
However, 104.7 and 107.7 do share a tower (maybe an antenna?, their HAATs are identical) and both have a lower-powered auxiliary transmitter. Maybe they were temporarily operating at reduced power for maintenance? That wouldn't explain any weakness of 92.9 (whose tower is more than 10 miles away) though.
I had to totally turn my antenna 90 degrees to get them to come in 104.7FM and 107.7FM weird.I still can't get 92.9FM I just did this i have a outdoor antenna but I use it inside do to the problem of not being able to put it on the rooof because I live in a condo.
I am now getting 98.pFM with Hip Hop on it. I have never got this before.
98.p?
I ment 98.9FM and I can finally get Z93 92.9FM to come in.
My Guess your 98.9 is probly Kiss out of Louisville cuz 98.9 in columbus is Urban ac
I wish some of the Louieville/Lexington stations came in better here in Dayton. I would really like a good CHR, CHR/Rhythmic, or Urban to come on through. I enjoy WLTO's playlist.
I may be wrong but if I remember correctly I think they said kiss.
Very common this time of year. It's called phase cancellation. It happens when the FM stations
skip signal and ground wave are about equal strength. They are out of phase and cancell each other
out. This is most likely to be noticed if you live beyond a stations 1 mv and within the .05 mv signal.
