As most dedicated WQXR listeners are aware, WQXR was recently sold to WNYC in New York.
As part of the sale WQXR sold their license and transmitter and jumped onto the WNYC transmitter which transmits a much lower power than before and on the same frequency as a full power Connecticut station at 105.9 mhz.
As a consequence, their signal no longer travels up to our area.
In an attempt to keep the signal from WQXR still on our FM lineup, I am now receiving a web stream from WQXR's website instead of the off air broadcast signal.
This can be problematic at times due to the inconsistancies with the internet and streaming technologies.
I do check it several times a day to make sure it is still playing, but occasionally the signal will be off until we can reboot the equipment and reaquire the signal.
I will be on vacation this week, but I do have the ability to monitor the system remotely and will be checking it periodically.
