WCXI shenanigans

The technical side of broadcasting. Think IBOC is a sham? Talk about it here! How about HDTV? Post DX reports here as well.

From some other reports on another board, giving them the benefit of the doubt, there might be a computer clock issue from the recent power failure, which affected much of Oakland County. I say this as the DX reports were from another station they heard that transmits from Oakland County.

If no one reported it, or no one was out there that noticed, the computer clock would have been reset for 12:00 if the backup battery has run down or hasn't been replaced, each time there was a power interruption. Listeners won't know what is happening, they only know that they hear more or less "static" than usual.

There is another station in Michigan that has been on or off of full power for weeks. Yesterday, after a few days at or near full power, I checked the pattern and power change with the FIM-41, and the Day/Night FI ratio was exactly what it should be.

They have been airing Brother Stair for almost a year now 24/7 I believe. I actually heard them in Bowling Green Ohio the other day, I noticed that they were running legal ID's about every 15 minutes or so. Not sure how I listened to that yelling and screeching for so long. :lol:

Such a waste of a decent signal.
