Broadcast Status
Thur July 31 - Online Steam is down. Everything on the Philo studio side is working correctly. Checking with MCN and NPR support for cause.
UPDATE - Resolved - Mon July 28 -Ft. Bragg 88.1 Transmitter exciter down. Picking up alternate station. Going to transmitter site Tues., July 29 AM to troubleshoot and repair.
UPDATE - Resolved - Wed July 23 - The NPR Satallite feed went down for approximately 8 minutes from 8:34am to 8:42am.
Ongoing - 91.5 Micro Dropouts - UPDATE 7/17/25 - STL amplifiers are being installed, the reciever portion was installed at Laughlin Peak and the transmitter STL amplifier is scheduled to be installed at the Cold Springs transmitter site.
We are aware of the micro dropouts on the 91.5 signal. This is due to the STL (Studio Transmitter Link) microwave signal that goes out from the Cold Springs transmitter site and received about 40 miles away at the Laughlin Peak transmitter site. STL strength readings have been taken and are very low, and the digital signal is occasionally too weak for error correction to accommodate. it is most likely an alignment issue between the microwave dishes on Laughlin Peak and Cold Springs. It's also possible that it could be co-channel interference or local signal interference at Cold Springs or at Laughlin Peak that is affecting the microwave signal. This is not an issue in the broadcast studios. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work on this with our Tower Engineer. Two crews with bucket trucks will most likely need to be dispatched to both tower sites simultaniosly to
