WPKN Signal

Posted by acass (A) on December 6, 2014 at 17:22:57

I'm puzzled by a local radio station WPKN, that's if 30 miles is local. I am using 2 tuners either a Sansui TU-717 or a McIntosh MR71 on a rotational antenna, Radio Shack FM6-15-2163, with an A/B switch. When one is in use the other is turned off,and both show I'm receiving in stereo yet the sound stage is skewed way over to the left as if the right channel is not working. If I switch to Mono the image centers itself. This is the only station that does this. I checked with FM Fool and it tells me I have "Line of Sight" at 30.8 miles, I checked it out with Google Earth and it seems like it's clear. My antenna is in the attic and about 150ft above sea level the transmitting antenna is 830ft above sea level.

So why can't I get a true stereo image. Perhaps WPKN needs an
alignment. It has been like this for a few years now.

Thanks, Acass.
