Windstorm blew down electrical lines that put us off the air hjowever we can continue to stream. Engineers down at transmitters now to see if they can get them back up on line.

Have to say, the power went out, we have a hardwired phone ....PG&E called 4 times last night, first time to tell us the elec was out, then 3 moretimes updates and turning it on, all after midnight

What is all this about phones being out and transmitters? Was there a storm yesterday on that side of town?
Joe:
gusty winds
Angel:
Good morning Sun
ProducerBadBob:
wind took out the power, and apparently surges caused damage, it's being evaluated now to figure out why both stations are down.
ProducerBadBob:
power back to the site but the units won't power up.
Angel:
Big gusty winds last night
Sungold:
Wow, nothing here on this side, I did wake up once last night and heard a big gust of wind, but that was all.
Angel:
I know I have trees down, have to take a look and burn before burn season is over
Angel:
Time to run this morning! Have a great day!
Sungold:
Have a good run
Sungold:
Transmitter is down for KCNR? You are still on the air, so using generators?

We live in a banana belt here, we can walk four blocks up the street and there is a wind tunnel in that area, come back home and nothing! Down the street is a house which has many citrus trees and they never get frost damage, We have to cover our trees and put lights on them
Sungold:
It is two micro climates in an eight block area

I have audio
ProducerBadBob:
ok thanks...so much stuff got knocked around trying to assess the damage.
Sungold:
However, I have not been able to get KCNR on any radios in the house for over a month now. My Bose barely gets it, but is very scratchy
ProducerBadBob:
You might try the C-Crane antenna booster...
Sungold:
Never used to have to have that Bob, it came in very clear for the 40 years we have lived here
