The Greenville -Spartanburg National Weather Service on 162.550 is back on the air with a temporary antenna some area may not be able to receive the signal as it is mounted lower on the Tower.

Any idea what caused the outage?

A faulty antenna or weather damage maybe?

I wouldn't know unless it was weather damage.just my guess.

I was thinking that as well, maybe the wind. Strange that it was not reported anywhere. If it was some form of vandalism it would most likely be in the media.

Anyways thats for the update and good find. Glad to hear its back online.
