For the past week or so, we've been sitting in a cloud of smoke here in the San Francisco Bay Area blowing in from the Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, CA and the surrounding area and is still burning.
During this period I've noticed that signals from the Sacramento/Stockton stations transmitting from Walnut Grove, CA, have all been about 5 dB weaker than normal. Apparently the smoke is hindering the propagation of the signals, both on VHF and UHF, over the 65 mile path.
