What happen to 104.7 the fish signal this morning?

T

tlyle

What happen to 104.7 the fish signal this morning? We live in NW Cherokee County, GA (Waleska/Canton). My daughter sleeps with the radio on listening to 104.7 every night. This morning when I went to wake her, Birmingham's 104.7 WZZK country station was booming in with a great signal.

Was the fish down? Is it still down? I did not check it going to work.

There was a massive skip from Alabama this morning. But, it is funny, because they could probably hear the Fish and other Atlanta station's there. It is like a reversal of signals. It is very strange, and usually is very prevelant in the Fall and early Spring

A couple of callers to the Bert Show this morning complained about interference from another station. One caller was near Newnan, and the other was in East Cobb. I'm sure what's posted above was the reason.

Most certainly WRAX "The X" from the Birmingham area. You guys were being bombarded from the south and west this morning. With few simple twists of my antenna this morning I was able to get WRAX, WWWQ, and WLDA (Dothan AL) with great signals. I'm in Columbus, btw.

It's call temperature inversion. This happens when you have a wide spread in the daytime and nighttime temps as we do in the Spring and Fall. There will be pockets of air which hasn't cooled to the temp of the surrounding air or remains colder than surrounding air and it creates induction or bending of the FM signals creating problems for local signals but allowing distance signals to "bend" into the area.

Tune to AM and you don't have to worry with it.
