WGR in Rochester area


Cereal

Recommended Posts

I moved back to Rochester a year ago, and most of the time, I have been able to get the WGR radio signal in pretty decent from my car during commute. However, the past couple of days, it's been just static.

 

Anyone experiencing this, or have an explanation? Hopefully it's a dumb question... And No, I don't have a smart phone :)

 

Thanks!

WGR goes directional at night. You can't hear them past Akron after sundown. Could that be it?

Thanks, PTR. You (or someone) must have posted this before, because that all sounds familiar, and it's pretty cool.

 

My issue is ~8am and ~4:30pm, so I don't think daytime vs. nighttime is the issue. (I've noticed the daytime vs. nighttime in the past, for sure!)

 

I wonder if my car's antenna got botched somehow.

Daytime vs night may be in issue since we sprung forward last week.

Interesting that they cover more area north and south vs. east to west.
