Go to govregs.com Go to §73.623 Find the first table, first category on table is D/U Ratio.......Co-channel", third line reads "DTV into DTV......+15". Strange suprise LII seems to have either left the table out of their site, or my smartphone could not open the table. I am quite sure that the co-c...

36 is top-channel after the repacking is done, not 35. I think 36 was the intended top channel all along. It makes sense as it allowed for a guard band between DTV and wireless services (Channel 37 being reserved for radioastronomy and a small part of 38 not being used for wireless). Splounge: coul...

That axe blade shaped directional pattern would be highly difficult to implement in practice. The manufacturing cost of a directional transmitting antenna built to those specifications would likely be very expensive, assuming the design is even feasible for a video signal. Even if that pattern *wer...

WDWO is on the air on UHF 22 now with 5 subchannels:

18.1 is Azteca
18.2 is Infomercials
18.3 is more infomercials
18.4 is blank (hopefully Decades soon)
18.5 is 3ABN

18.4 is now TCT

I didn't think WHNE signal would be strong enough to interfere with a station out of Lansing. But WLAJ's post repack contour on 14 goes all the way to Royal Oak Township. That's the same township WHNE's tower is in, the tower is only a mile from the contour edge. WLAJ will also be protected in Redf...

Yeah, WMYD moved to UHF 31 (still appears as 20.1), and WKBD is UHF 34 (appearing as 50).

Is anyone getting anything on 19? WUDL or TVO Right now I see signal from 19 but the quality is poor so the channels can lock. I am also getting a weak signal from CIII-29 Global at 35, Where WUDL is moving in March. I've been getting WUDL, it obliterates any trace of CICO. But when I have the ante...

How far does 51 CHCH-2 out of London actually reach? I have never picked them up on a scan, or even seen a weak signal. They are suppose to move to 14 where WKBD 50 was. I wonder why WHNE couldn't actually be located at 14.

WLAJ, that's why

To me, noise is the same as interference. However, it isn't the other way around.

The contours are all 41 dBu, and there's no overlap, you may have to zoom in to see the fine detail near CFTV's edge.

Another strange thing about WHNE-LD's application: The filing refers to channel 3 as the "only channel available". According to the FCC website, there is now no channel 2 facility within 475km*. On channel 2, they could have an omnidirectional facility. That would be heck, the interference is worse...

Plus, as for the Canada situation, WUDL-LD and CIII-29 overlap each other. And CIII-29 IS protected, unlike CFTV. I do happen to know that my proposed pattern does NOT overlap CFTV's 1kW nondirectional permit. I'm going to make an actual coverage map of the 41 dBu contour using the FCC's contour cal...

Canada will protest.

Darn, maybe they could try for 36 then? All that they would have to worry about are WAQP and WMNT. I think they should still try for 30 as I don't think CFTV is even protected. I think they're just a Canadian LPTV,

I would like to apologize for my tendencies to crap post and troll on the buzzboard prior to 2017, I had thought back then that the internet was just a place to troll everyone. But I know now that this is not one of those sites.

EDIT: 30 would be impossible, I misunderstood the protected contours' meaning and didn't know the required ratio wasn't 1:1. I thought that the 41 dBu contour was the furthest that any station was protected, but now that I've read 47 CFR § 73.623, I know that that is not the case. The only obstacles...
