Narrative

THE RECEIVERS FOR 126.77 ARE BREAKING UP AND SOMETIMES TOTALLY UNREADABLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST A YR AND A HALF. THIS PROB IS MAINLY LOCALIZED BTWN VXV 010040 AND VXV 090030 AND TOWARDS VXV VORTAC. THE CTLRS HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SUPVRS NEED TO LOG THIS ON THE DAILY LOG IN ORDER FOR AIRWAYS FACILITIES TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE PERSONALLY INFORMED THE SUPVRS OF THE PROB OVER 10 TIMES IN THE PAST 30 DAYS. TODAY; ON JUN/TUE/98; I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBS THAT HAD BEEN LOGGED FOR 126.77 DID NOT INCLUDE THIS PROB. THE LOCATION OF THIS PROB IS IN THE CORNER OF TWO SECTORS IN TWO DIFFERENT AREAS OF ZTL AND TWO SECTORS IN TWO AREAS OF ZID. THIS COULD LEAD TO SYS ERROR OR WORSE. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CONCERN TO GET THIS PROB FIXED IN ZTL. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR SAID HE HAD FILED A UCR THE SAME TIME HE SENT IN THE RPT DESCRIBING THE SIT WITH THE RADIO RECEIVER. HE SAID THE FACILITY IS NOW LOGGING INFO ON THE RECEIVER AND WILL TRY TO REMEDY THE PROB AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE FREQ IS USED BY BATIN SECTOR AT ZTL WHICH IS BEING FED TFC FROM 3 SECTORS: THE BLUE RIDGE SECTOR LOCATED IN ZTL; AND THE BLUE FIELD AND REBEL SECTORS LOCATED AT ZID.
