So it’s a real thing… There you are driving down the street in your car, or sitting in your office getting lost in a song, or even out in the fields on your tractor listening to the Farm Report and BAM you lost the signal to the Radio… BELIEVE us when we tell you it is as if not more maddening to us than you! BUT truly there is nothing we can do about it… Have you ever heard about Sun Outages or Sun Fades? It is a real thing. The cause? The sun, will affect satellite transmissions each Fall and Spring during the Equinox when it comes into direct alignment with the satellite and earth receiving antennas. It’s not just KDOM that experiences this, Feeds on all satellites are affected. Outages can happen from 30 secs upto approximately 8 minutes. Degrees of signal loss across the world vary from station to station depending on geographical locations. So when we are all applauding the coming of the sun, keep in mind with every positive sun beam comes a little dead air. We just want you to know that it is a Mother Nature thing and we welcome the Sun and appreciate your patience.
