Stations off the air

Lenora, KS (WWF-87, 162.425 MHZ): Completely destroyed tower/antenna after the weight of 1/2″-3/4″ of ice accumulation on the entire tower brought it down.

Goodland/Gem, KS (WXK-96, 162.400 MHZ): Unknown failure, will take “several days” to get to transmitter site to see what happened, as blowing/drifting snow has made travel impossible to the site.

Ulysses, KS (WXN-81, 162.450 MHZ): Heavy ice accumulation on transmitting antenna has knocked it off the air. Hopefully, the
tower will remain standing and warmer weather will melt the ice in due time.

Dighton, KS (WNG-535, 162.525 MHz): Power outage

Hays, KS (WXM-35, 162.450 MHz): Off the air; exact reason unknown.
