Reception problems with KMBC-TV

[Route66Fan]

For some reason, I am having problems receiving KMBC-TV in Carrollton, MO. According to my HDHomerun tuner, their signal strength is 56% & the signal quality is 41%. I have a feeling that another TV station, from somewhere else, may be causing interference. All of the other full power TV stations in the Kansas City area are coming in good.

According to KMBC-TV's website, apparently they're working on their transmitter & are having to operate at low power.

Having trouble in Topeka as well. I very rarely had a problem picking them up in the past.

I got an email from KMBC-TV, yesterday morning, saying that they were having problems with their antenna.

According to this website, KMBC's antenna suffered a lightning strike & they suffered transmitter damage & had to reduce power to 20%. They are now filing a letter to the FCC indicating that they are returning to full power.

According to my tuner(s) they appear to be back to full power now.

I think that they have been at, or near, full power for at least 2 weeks now.
