Ahhh, finally, a hair before 12Z this morning, the official

I suspect 1193.5 is being uplinked from a backup site (Fairmont, now that
they can get in?), and they're going to check to see what's going on
with that frequency.
I am getting utterly spectacular reception on 1138.5, BUT I'm getting
more retransmissions than usual. I suspect they're overloading a few NWS
receivers out there. My carrier to noise is over 100:1! :-o
I have no word yet on when they are going to go back to 1193.5.
And yes, we still have to deal with the G-15 bird issue in full yet.
@Tom Yoksas, muchas gracias, glad to help, and I'm going to stay on
1138.50 until I see a cut-off of signal, or I get the official word to
switch back.
