WJZA Now in HD

[Amigo981]

Noticed this morning that there is an HD signal present on 101.1. Not strong enough to kick in while I was driving around south Buckhead, but it was strong enough to show the call letters.

Soooooo, worked out it isn't coming from WJZA, but is coming from WLJA in Ellijay. Must be some skip going on.

I’ve had this happen too. I believe the HD signal can only broadcast at a fraction of the power of the main analog signal. So with that being said, none of the Atlanta translators broadcast in HD for this reason.

The Wikipedia page for WJZA says the translator is currently silent, due to complaints from WLJA.

But I assume the dispute has been worked out and WJZA is again on 101.1, as well as AM 1310... and 100.1 WNSY in Talking Rock, Georgia.

I've picked the HD signal up in Knoxville, TN several times. Just enough to show the call letters. We have a low power station in town and I was still picking it up well. I've also had WUBT-fm Nashville call letters pop up on that freq. too. I believe it's just e-skip.

No, at that short a distance..100-400 miles.. its tropo.... tropo can happen at longer distances sometimes but doesnt usually. Eskip is usually 750 miles or greater
