We have a local FM station, a Licensed 17KW B1 at 95.1 which a transmitter
site just outside Carbondale that may or may not have an issue I noted
today.
While parked halfway between the WUEZ 95.1 transmitter site and the 3KW/131
ft site of WDBX 91.1, I noted WUEZ "Magic 95.1" in stereo but noisy and
muddy on 94.1 and in perfect, crystal clear, listenable stereo on 96.1..
completely skipping 94.3, 94.5, 94.7, 94.9, 95.3, 95.5, 95.7, and 95.9. I
didn't note WDBX-FM on any other channels.
My roomate who was in the car at the time said this has been happening for
as lnog as he can remember and he's noted it on other car radios as well.
What could be causing this? I've seen stations slatter one or two channels
down or a mixing product, but not skip whole channels like this. I'm more
curious then anything else since I like to know how thigns work/dom't work.
