103's off air?

Overnight I was getting nothing but static on both Arrow 103.5 and 103.1 Jack. Jack was noted back by 11AM but Arrow was still MIA. By afternoon I confirmed Arrow was back as well. Most of those observations were on a radio with horrendous selectivity that usually had a static problem with Arrow due I'm sure to IBUZ, but there was no trace of any signal at all. It's also very strange that the next station over was also missing because the two stations aren't anywhere near each other transmitter wise. My working theory is that IBUZ went way out of tolerance and blew out both stations on the highly unselective radio, but I wanted to solicit reception reports from the group. Was anyone hearing Arrow Saturday morning prior to 11AM?

KRSP-FM had problems.
The main transmission line went bad inside the building. When trying to switch the backup transmitter on-line, via the standby antenna, it was found that that transmission line was also bad...likely due to moisture in it.
The KRSP-FM signal is currently going out via the 102.7 standby antenna, holding steady at 700 watts, versus the normal 8 KW, until the parts get up top the mountain.

IBOC (HD Radio) is also shut off for now. It might have still been on the air for a while, since it feeds the combiner via a separate path.

Don't know why 103.1 would have been off. It's a booster on Ensign Peak. Maybe the main, at Humpy Peak, was off the air.

I noticed FM-100's IBOC was off a few days ago too. I hope everything gets back to normal soon, 103.5 is a station I listen to pretty heavily. If you guys take a heli up to Farnsworth, I wish I could go with you.

Thanks Ken.

The funny thing is that I'm getting a better signal on KRSP now than I normally do.

Sounds like IBUZ went back on KRSP on Tuesday. Or at least the usual interference I get on my radio was back.
