Good Filters Make Good Neighbors:

If you live in the northeastern part of the NCPR listening area you may wonder why, lately, we have sounded like we are broadcasting over a wind-up Dick Tracy walkie-talkie. With the bottom end of the fm spectrum getting as crowded as dollar pitcher night with a hot band, it gets harder to accommodate new neighbors. A new religious network station sharing our Terry Mountain transmitter site appears to be interfering with the relay of our broadcast signal to the transmitter at 88.3 fm in Peru, and our new 102.1 fm translator in Jay. Radio Bob is at the site installing filters that may improve reception, and is in contact with our new neighbors to work on peaceful coexistence. We hope to see substantial improvement in the next day or so, and in a few weeks, installation of new digital studio transmitter links will make this type of interference a thing of the past. Thanks for your patience and concern.
