FirstEnergy Sparta site

I haven't received the Sparta site's control channel for at least a couple of days. I live close to it, so I have always had an excellent signal. Does anyone know if anything has changed?

Did you check both control channels? It's should be 938.675 at the moment.

Yes, I did. I even checked the frequency that isn't listed as a control channel.

Strange, it's showing up as a peer to High Point and is not indicating any sort of failure. Search 935-940 to see if anything pops up.

The only signal I "see" in that range is the control channel for Hackettstown (938.400).

Seems like the site is off the air then, and nothing being reported in the bitstream of adjacent sites. 🤷‍♂️

This same thing happened to the Cherryville site. I didn't have a signal for several months, then a few weeks ago it was back.

I have the same problem with their Lakewood site. I am getting 5 bars on the signal strength when it scans their site but I have not heard any talk at all.

That's not the same problem at all. I am getting no signal because it appears the Sparta site is currently off-the-air, as GTR8000 stated. Before it was off-the-air, I would "hear talk" infrequently.

Exactly lol. Not the same at all.
