WUOL to flip from Classical?

W

William_Yeager

They will if they keep broadcasting on the wrong frequencies!

I've been hearing WUOL on 88.3 and 104.7 throughout the day and even once yesterday, although never for more than a few minutes at a time. Given that this matches WARA and its translators' frequencies exactly, they must be doing something that is causing enough of a problem to reach New Washington, Indiana. I've gone from hearing Air1 clearly to hearing classical music clearly and then back again each time-it seems most noticeable around the junction of Shelbyville Road and Gene Snyder Freeway, but it's happened at locations several miles away to both the north and the south.

So much for that Big East engineering . . .

I put a spectrum analyzer on WUOL's transmitter yesterday. It's clean coming out of the rig. I don't know how to explain you hearing WUOL on 88.3 and 104.7. It could be UOL's signal mixing with other frequencies and you are hearing that. 790AM and 100.5FM transmitters are located close to the Shelbyville Rd/Snyder interchange. Also WHAS-AM's tower is about 5 miles from the Shelbyville Rd/Snyder interchange. There could be something going on with all those signals that's causing you to hear WUOL. If that's the case, signals mixing like that is pretty much beyond our control.

104.7 has two translators...one in New Albany & one is Middletown. Ownership is listed as EMF (K-LOVE). From experience, I know that EMF will temporarily translate other stations (with permission) to hold a license until they have one of their own source stations available to translate. Any chance the 104.7 is translating WUOL temporarily?

Not that I'm aware of. But then again, I'm just an engineer!

That makes two of us...and as I'm sure you are aware, the engineer is ALWAYS the last to know.
