Early yesterday morning I received several reports that Jackson was off the air. The transmitter was on but there was no audio. I decided to make a trip to investigate.

Apparently there was a mix of rain and heavy wet snow in the area. This wet sloppy mix filled the dish and interrupted the signal. The signal did come back later in the day but went out again early this morning during the next round of sloppy weather.

This dish has both a cover and a heater but I suspect that the cover is interfering with operation of the heaters. I am going to try to get to the site to remove the dish cover (assuming the road isn’t too sloppy…)
