I haven't been able to pick up WFRO Eagle 99.1 at all this morning. Did the storms knock them off the air? Normally I can receive this station very clear but instead I was picking up a weak country station mixing with a CBC station.

WFRO Eagle 99.1 (Fremont, OH) off air?
- Thread starter Buckeyes2001
- Start date
Update: Station still appears to be off the air. When I tried tuning it in from Vermilion, I was hearing WFMK from Lansing, MI mixing a little bit with WHKO from Dayton. Anyone closer to Fremont that can hear their signal?
Eagle 99 was very much on the air when I went to Cedar Point on August 4th.
WHKO should make it up to the North Coast in the absence of WFRO. They pack quite the punch with their signal. The 1000'+ tower doesn't hurt either.
Your CBC station was probably Toronto. Another monster signal from atop the CN Tower (I believe, I could be wrong). I heard some pretty good Toronto lake enhancement one time while visiting Cleveland. But still, the 250-mile jog for Toronto on 99.1 is pretty good

Station seems to be off the air once again as I was only faintly picking up WFMK from Lansing on my car radio tonight.
From WFRO's Facebook fan page yesterday morning (Feb. 14)...
And four hours ago...
WFRO's transmitter site is a relatively new one, no?

That's what I thought too. They're still off the air as of this evening and so I have been having fun DXing on that frequency.
It's quite an improvement, actually.
Must be some serious transmission line issues. It's Monday 2/28 and WFRI is still off the air.
After 16 days, WFRO is finally back on the air! They were not yesterday (3/1) afternoon, but were back on the air this morning. (Excuse my "WFRI" in the previous post - fat fingers)
I noticed they were still off on my way home from work on 3-1-11 but I did catch them on the air later that evening. After being off the air for so long, I was beginning to wonder if they were going to come back on as a different station.
