One of my favorite listens on the way home from work is WPPB's "Afternoon Ramble". It's strong signal bounces across Long Island Sound well into the Nutmeg State. The past couple of days, the signal has been shortwave-like....static, fades, perfectly clear, and then completely gone. Today, "Ramble" host Brian Cosgrove apologized to the audience about the transmission, he explained that they were struck by lightning last Friday and equipment will need to be replaced. I could not find a story about it on line but Connecticut had Tornado Warnings the same evening.
