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".
