- Well, maybe not the worst, but certainly the most unusual. My brother, who
- works within sight of the masts can't pick up the station. On the other
- hand, we have picked up KJJO up in Cross Lake (north of Brainerd) clear as
- a bell for extended periods of time at night. Oh, yes, and then you lose
- the station for the first two or three miles of 94 south of 694.
-
- And have any of you experienced how KJJO will simply quit transmitting for
- anywhere between a few seconds to a few minutes?

- Well, to be honest, I was getting rather disappointed with the format. It
- seemed like they were only replacing one top-40 format with another top-40
- format. Yeah, it was an alternative 40 songs, but still... I mean, I kind
- of expected that they would play more cuts off albums instead of the ones
- that they or someone else determined would be a "hit".
