sirius in anchorage, alaska

[zack420]

i just moved to anchorage and i can't get a signal and it sucks just wondering if anyone knows why it doesn't work up here

[moondoggie]

the earth is eclipsing the satellite and there are no repeaters

[dan_o]

have you looked to the south and east? Those things are called mountians.... I'm waiting for the repeater towers... They should be going in pretty soon? I have all the gear for sirus in my closet from when I was stationed in Montana. It worked awesomely down there.

Anybody have an idea if and when the repeaters will be in Anchorage?

[jaccothemole]

i'm not sure if this helps but they have a signal finder of sorts in their site, check it out at http://fmchannel.sirius.com/

alternately, they also have deals going on with their newer models (the stiletto 2 being my favorite) at http://www.sirius.com/freeradio

sorry dan_o,
the permit for the repeaters went to the "public comment" stage. NAB threw a fit because they know they are being out-performed and they refuse to improve. now we don't get sirius until another satellite goes up or sirius spends some dough on a better legal team (= never).

Anchorage truly deserves Sirius. I am an old Alaskan from the forties, transplanted to Arizona,(which is also disconnected from the rest of the country by Republican stupidity). If it wasn't for Sirius Radio I couldn't stand it here. Sirius brings the real world in! Thank God! I really hope Alaska gets those repeaters soon. Sirius's 3 classical channels, plus a hundred others make life SO MUCH better. Thank you Sirius, and keep up the good fight for Alaska !

I really agree with Ernie. Anchorage dosen't know what it's missing until it gets Sirius Satellite Radio!!!! I spent years on tugs in the Bering Sea. Now living in Tacoma Wa. Anchorage has a great surprise in store when it finds out about Sirius. Tell the powers that be to build those repeaters SOON!

Every hour or so I get signal on a few channels in my car..of cousre they only last a few seconds.
Maybe it's becasue the earth wobbles..
