I know WLHV’s transmitter is actually closer to Lake Taghkanic than Baird College in ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, but since Annadale is the city of license it must put a city grade signal into that town. It does not. Perhaps they are having transmitter problems , but for the second week in a row while traveling up 9G they sounded weak and choppy near the college and improves only slightly a bit further north before dropping off again. Perhaps heading east, which I do not WLHV might sound better, but riding up 9G the AM WHDD sounds better.
This is, my first time up north since last fall. I also noticed WCKL seems to have cleared up some modulation issues as they sound clearer, less garbled than they did last fall. However I could tell they were not transmitting at 1KW from their authorized site. The signal is rather weak even in Catskill. I guess they are still using the illegal long wire setup in the orchard behind their original towers at the temporary power the authorization which expired in February.
