Why can't I tune
WMRW-LP in???
If it was up to us we would be
operating at a million megawatts, but alas we have a low-power
license and that limits us to just 100 watts. 100 watts would
work just fine if we were in a flat (and boring) terrain, but these
beautiful mountains that our homes and businesses are nestled in
make coverage of the Valley a challenge.
Below is a coverage
map to give you an idea of where we technically should be able
to be heard.
So....I want to
listen! What can I do?
If you are not able to tune us in,
here are a couple suggestions:
-
Waitsfield Cable
carries our signal as part of their FM line-up to their customers.
If you go to their office, they will provide you with a splitter
and cables so that you can split your cable signal to go to your
TV and your stereo/radio. They will also give you detailed
instructions on how to do this - and it is REALLY easy!
FM Only Cable Subscriptions
For just $4.65 a month you can receive FM only cable
service. This means that if you don't care to
subscribe to TV Cable you can still receive WMRW and
many other Vermont radio stations clear as a bell
through Waitsfield Cable. |

If cable is not an option, an
antenna could do the trick for you. All radios have
different strength/quality antennae's. Sometimes you can't
even see the antennae on your radio - it might be in the
electric cord. So, try moving around the electric cord or
antennae that came with the radio and see if that makes a
difference. If not, we recommend getting a $2.50
dipole antenna from the local hardware store. Listeners have
had tremendous success with these antennas.
Tip: Point the antenna
tips toward East Warren to get the best reception.
Coverage Map
This map shows
our estimate of the area that the WMRW signal covers. It was based
on our original FCC license to broadcast at a signal strength of up
to 73 watts. Our license has been upgraded to 100 watts, so coverage
may be broader than what this map shows.
