WIBG-AM off the air?

J

JerseyShor

Not picking up a trace of the station which is usually super-strong here in Southern Ocean County.

For the first time in YEARS I am getting WINS on 1010!
 
No pun intended, thank the Lord. Wins 1010 is a great station
 
I was at the 1020 WIBG and soon to be 94.3 site for a minute today.
They installed the new FM antenna on the tower today, probably had
the AM shut down for safety. It should be back on when everyone
is clear.
 
Got some good catches while it was off the air.

1010 WINS - New York, NY (80 miles)
1010 CFRB - Toronto, ON (290 miles)
1020 KDKA - Pittsburgh, PA (310 miles)
1030 WBZ - Boston, MA (250 miles)

Normally these all are impossible because of WIBG-AM during the daytime. WINS is almost always impossible with WIBG-AM during the day and CFRB at night.
 
As Tom Said.. he stopped by the site
Yes I had WIBG 1020 off the air while the guys were installing the New FM antenna...
the steel Cable To hoist the New antenna was swinging Very close to the HOT AM wires.
It was a safety issue to shut down..


Tom It was a pleasure to finally meet you...
