That has forced us to reduce operating power, and may force us off the air before the storm is over. So if you can't hear us on FM, fire...

Enough ice has come off our antenna that we are back to transmitting on FM, but at reduced power. We'll get back to full power as soon as we can. The problem with ice is that it causes the power we send up to the antenna to be "reflected" right back down to the transmitter (where it can ca...
