WNYO's  transmitter is located adjacent to Ironwood's Golf Coarse in Cowlesville, which has wind turbines.



I asked Trip Ericson whether these can have an effect on reception, this is his reply:

They can, yes.  In Waymart, PA, the wind turbines more or less destroyed local TV to the extent that they installed translators in the area to help local viewers overcome the problem.

I researched this from Wikipedia:

WQPX operates its digital fill-in translator on UHF channel 49. That translator is run by NextEra Energy Resources in Waymart, PA. Windmills run by NextEra Energy Resources in the area surrounding Waymart interfere with full power television signals from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market.
