Also, On a Side Note the Detector in Brighton is down and the Dispatcher had to be the detector for the day. The one in Churchville has been changed so it just now is just says "CHURCHVILLE" without the CONRAIL before it.
Just thought I would share 
you'll here that on occation with the Centerport Detector some times it reads out with "CONRAIL" in its opening message and outher days it dose not. I wonder if it gets accdentley reprogramed in when the detectors are being worked on??
Why would a detector be affected from another one being worked on? There's no real "link" between them (and if there is, nothing even close to those capabilities). I suspect it's like Lyons, where it's different for both tracks...keep tabs on which track says what, I'd be willing to bet that's it.

The wind isn't going to affect your reception at all (unless it blows something on to the antenna and destroys it
). Speaking VERY broadly, you'll generally get better reception on cloudy days than sunny days...but, that's a very general rule, and as usual, there's exceptions to it.
Churchville, Brighton, E. Palmyra, and Lyons all lack "Conrail" now. Coldwater still has it, and I haven't heard Pittsford in a while since they haven't ran much of anything down the Shore when I've been out lately. Since they're required to identify themselves, look for these to say "CSX" at the beginning shortly, if not replaced outright with the Batavia style detector. Within a few years, any signs of the Conrail split-up will be gone...no more Conrail detectors, no more Conrail painted power (except perhaps a rare few), no more leasors used to ease power shortages resulting from the split-up, etc...it'll be a CSX-filled world. Shortlines, here I come!
