The signal on 105.9 seems very weak today. Anybody else notice it?

I heard there was a big tower issue on Farnsworth where most the stations moved to their Aux.

Is 105.9 one of the FM stations affected by the FCC repack? That might have something to do with the weak signal.

No the repack was just for tv side. The main FM community antenna suffered a failure last week. Most stations are on aux antennas. They have to run at lower power as the tower crews have been climbing the big antenna. All of the FM’s from Farnsworth will shut down for a short period of time tonight as some testing has to be done.

The only effect that the TV repack would have on FM stations I know of is that some TV antennas have to be moved or swapped out or things of that nature. Some of whatever is going on up there is still ongoing, but that's apparently a different topic. Thank you CJ for the update.
