Vermont WJEN strong in the Upper Valley again

[CTListener]

I was in White River Junction yesterday and, much to my surprise, heard WJEN Killington loud and clear at 105.3, playing country Christmas music. This station had disappeared from my car radio a few weeks back, about the time that a couple of other Rutland area stations switched transmitter sites. I had changed my WJEN preset to 101.3 WYKR Wells River shortly after losing WJEN, so I have no idea when WJEN returned to its previous signal strength here in the valley. What happened?

The 105.3 signal was always decent in the Upper Valley.. Their antenna is atop Pico, and any signal issues had nothing to do with 97.1 WZRT & 98.1 WJJR moving off the summit fire tower on the Big K.. If there were any issues, perhaps finding any needed parts took a while. You don't like Kixx 100.5 ? Big signal up and down I-91.

There definitely was an issue for at least a week. Nothing on 105.3. After that, I changed the preset and never bothered to check 105.3 again until my random band scan yesterday. I'm fine with Kixx and Wolf (and WCNL's Claremont translator outside of their Christmas music month), but I need alternative country presets in the car in case a song I can't stand comes on and I'm not in the mood for some other genre.
