Comments on: Wild n’ out http://idahoradionews.com/index.php/2009/01/17/wild-n-out/ News, notes and the inside scoop on Idaho's radio industry & beyond Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:43:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: RDS http://idahoradionews.com/index.php/2009/01/17/wild-n-out/comment-page-1/#comment-92547 RDS Tue, 20 Jan 2009 04:51:55 +0000 http://idahoradionews.com/?p=3004#comment-92547 I stand corrected ... approx 6:45pm on the 17th, 94.9 did go to the aux tx, which can take anywhere from 70 - 90 seconds to come up (I said a minute in the previous post -- sorry ' bout that). It was about 6 - 7 minutes later I restarted the main and we came back to full power. Since I was on the phone with the 94.9 remote control, I missed the call from 1490. Started it back up some time later (can't recall now exactly what time). 94.9 would have been in static for that 70- 90 seconds it takes the Aux to come up.

Nearly all Deer Point FMs cycled off & on. It was a good minute after the sags I checked the dial. Found those off the air. 1490 was still off 5 minutes later.

I don't show 94.9 (River) being off ... unless just momentarily. If it's off more than 20 seconds, the auxilliary comes on a minute later, and my phone starts ringing. It can be off up to about 15 seconds and I won't know it, but beyond that .... I would have known. There was a Sunday a few weeks ago 1490 was off for a few hours, but that's it. Hmmm….

What John meant is the fact that that you rarely comment on other off air events but ours. As to a common occurence we have been on since October 31st. Since then we have been off three times. Once due to a BAD piece of new equipment at the site, once to replace the BAD component and this latest when heavy frost brought the sub-station down outside of Marsing after first sending power fluctuations down the line killing MORE equipment. Thanks for for concern! Don't respond on my behalf I'm taking a couple months off from IRN. Rest assured Don, if there is an opportunity to take a shot at Impact you never miss it.

It was a POWER OUTAGE. <b>Editor's note:</b> If 94.9 was off the air... it wasn't for as long as KWYD. It's becoming a COMMON OCCURRENCE. So was 98.7 (same site) 1490, and 94.9.
