WLFX Coverage

[Nostatic1]

Anyone notice WLFX 106.7 now having better coverage?

I have noticed this, too. For years, they were very spotty on my car radio in South Lexington, but now, they are nearly as strong as WCYO 100.7. I often wondered if they were not transmitting up to their licensed potential...

We made some tower improvements a few weekends ago.

What kind of improvements?

I'll ask our engineer about the specifics

I would have to agree with the poster of this article. WLFX has made an entrance to my clock radio here in Danville. We all know what "great" tuners they put in these things. Good music though. We needed this!!!

Our engineer told me that there was a problem with the coax connectors on the antenna that I guess was allowing moisture into the connections.

LOL!!!!

well, I am glad Kelly finally fixed it!

Who is the engineer down there now?

Which probably means the station was running at reduced power to prevent the feedline from arcing over. Once the connectors were fixed and the feedline dried out, you can crank the transmitter back up to full power.

Happened to me at WDJX a few years ago. Had to operate on our back up transmitter and antenna until our feedline was replaced.

Dave Cox is our engineer. Does a fantastic job. His wife handles our websites.

When this happens, does it look like Frankenstein's lab???

I've used a backup transmitter, and it didn't quite look liek Frankenstein's lab.. but once you kick on the backup, you stand back for a few seconds.. lol

How bout when it arcs over on the wet lines? I remember riding the schoolbus on a main highway on a rainy day and a powerline was arcing to a wet tree that was too close. Quite an amazing sight, and dangerous!

I've had a tube transmitter light up when it got hit by lightning... and I've had it also light up when I flipped the switch to sign on and it shorted something.. and spit up a bunch of nuts n bolts in the back cabinet.
