Anyone having trouble getting CW 69 (WUPA) in Atlanta?

Checked with two other OTA folks and no one else can get it either. They must be having technical issues. Anyone know what's up with them?

I asked about WUPA on another TV forum. I am not getting in in Acworth and neither was another poster. Someone in Marietta was picking it up and someone near PDK airport was picking it up but getting a lot of pixellation. Sounds like they may have had a technical problem and are operating at low power for now. If I get a chance tomorrow I will call the station engineer and ask.

Thanks Tim. I have a mid sized antenna in Cumming and it's out more than it's in - not watchable. Usually my 4th strongest station after 8, 5, and 2. Glad it's not my equipment! What other forums do you go on?

There is talk about it on the AVS Local HDTV Info and Reception > Atlanta, GA - OTA thread, page 113.

At AVS dot net I follow the [HDTV > Local HDTV Info and Reception > Atlanta, GA] and the [HDTV > HDTV Technical] forums.

At radiodiscussions dot com I follow the [Top 20 US Radio Markets > Atlanta] forum.

Hopefully 69 will be back full power soon. I have been enjoying the Decades network programming.

I attempted to contact the station engineer this morning and left a voice mail. The receptionist did say they were aware of the problem and working on it but she was unaware of any specifics.

The chief engineer chimed in on my Facebook post and said they were working on a problem with the antenna system and will be running in low power mode until it's fixed. Said it could take up to 10 days to resolve.
