102.3 WFXN Galion Signal Issues

I live well beyond the "local" signal range of 102.3, but used to be able to pick them up where I live very well. About 2 weeks ago, nothing but static. Visited with family about 8 miles South of Galion, and 102.3 was struggling even there! Did they power down, move, or are they rehabbing their facility?

EF-2 Tornado whacked the tower. And it didn't just knock it over. Take a look! https://insidetowers.com/radio-tower-destroyed-storms-ohio/

Well, I guess my timing was a little off on when I thought I noticed the outage. That would definitely explain the problem! Wonder where they are broadcasting from now? Wasn't sure if they had a backup location?

They are doing 1 watt from the WYHT's Aux antenna. 8 miles with one watt on a jammed packed former class "A" channel is not too bad.

That picture reminds me a lot of what the WWVA towers looked like a few years ago after a big storm ripped through far eastern Ohio. IIRC, WWVA programming actually was fed through another channel in Wheeling before the array was rebuilt.

As of 3/12, 102.3 is back up to full power. Saw it come across their Facebook page, and checked it out this morning. I was able to listen to Bob and Tom (I mean Tom and the rest of the group) during my commute from Marysville to Hilliard. Signal gets pretty choppy as expected when I got South of Tuttle. Good to hear them back up and going.
