It's not the fault of your radio. At least I can tell you that much.
For the past couple of weeks we've had a vexing problem here in Radio Land. For anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes, at various times of the day and various days of the week, our signal drops out. Or, to be more precise, the signal from one antenna at Morgan Meadows to another on our transmitter tower in Ishpeming drops out, rendering us with absolutely no sound coming out of your radio.
And since our business is, you know, sound, that's not a good thing.
We get our signal from downtown Marquette to Ishpeming via two Studio to Transmitter links, or STLs, if you wanna be one of the cool and/or nerdy kids. STLs are basically radios. The one from Marquette to a relay station at Morgan Meadows works fine, but it's the one between Morgan and Ishpeming that's giving us headaches. We don't know what's causing it. We THINK it's interference from another radio source, but because it happens at various times at various days and during different weather conditions we can't narrow it down.
And that's the frustrating part.
We'll keep working on it. If you're in Marquette and listen to us our signal on 93.3 works perfectly, so you can always switch over to that. But if you're anywhere else in the UP, this problem may be a problem for a while, either until we can figure out what's causing it or until whatever's interfering with our signal stops interfering with our signal. And, of course, all that is out of our control.
Just let me apologize in advance for any listening difficulty that may cause. And trust me—you're not the only one frustrated by that!
Have a great weekend. I hope ALL of your radio reception, wherever it is, is interference free!
