550 WGR Silent

As I was driving home about 8:30 tonight, I noticec WGR was off the air. Couldn't pick anything up because of the electrical interference. The fact that a TTC electric bus was beside me didn't help. When I got home, I brought my Qodosen DX-286 out to my parking lot. Most of the usual 50K blowtorches were booming in. Sadly 550 sounded like an empty daytime frequency. I thought I might have a shot at WKRC but with only 1000 watts at night and a likely null towards Buffalo. Oh well.  Maybe some members will have better luck if the outage lasts a significant amount of time.

Jamming from a local source?

No, 550 was indeed completely off for a little while. But back on the air not long after 9.

I'm assuming the programming continued on in Rochester.

What about WGR's streaming abilities? Or was that also off the air?
