NBC IN ALPENA
NBC IN ALPENA
Is there anyway NBC can be picked up ota in the area of Curran, Mi. about 30 miles South West of Alpena. have a cabin in the area, thanks
Re: NBC IN ALPENA
You may remember that in the old days before digital, people in those areas got fringe area service from NBC on WNEM-TV 5 or WTOM-TV 4. When NBC moved to WEYI-TV 25, that became a problem, and when WTOM went digital on UHF, almost impossible. It's been very innovative with WBKB 11 using the sub channels for ABC and Fox. TVFool shows no NBC fringe available in Curran proper.
Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

Re: NBC IN ALPENA
Why would you attempt WPBN Traverse City? Significantly too far. WTOM Cheboygan was your best bet back in the day (really still is, although HIGHLY unlikely you'll receive it)

The terrain is more favorable to the south IF you set on the ridge just south/east/west of town.

I've been to the Beaver Creek Church.
The best shot is WTOM, just east of Cheybogan.

Thanks, I will try it in the spring
Re: NBC IN ALPENA
I'll believe this when I see it. With UHF, the signals reach two "brick walls", terrain and earth curvature obstructions and the digital cliff. Higher power on VHF may help 8, 9, and 10. I don't know if 11 is upgrading. I'd have to look if there's any possibility that WTOM-TV could move to 7. If there is no Canadian allotment, and maybe near collocate near Goetzville.
Looks like 7 is assigned to CIII-TV in SSM, ON.
Here's an example. An engineer for WTOM-TV lived 17 miles from their transmitter. He had a Hoverman type antenna mounted on a 30 foot tower. He could not receive the digital signal. TVFool said you would have had to have a 100 foot antenna order to receive it. When you did a search on TVFool, the signal wasn't even listed.

Re: NBC IN ALPENA
It seems like WTOM-TV couldn't go to full facilities because of the overlap of the WPBN-TV contour. The non overlapping satellite signals guaranteed areas in between that weren't covered well. And WPBN-TV started out from West of Traverse City with 53.7 kW and a much shorter tower. I'll try to find a copy of the old coverage maps. But as Channel 4 analog, the signal got out well over hills.
Scroll down to Michigan.

It looks like they couldn't have even had the satellite operation before the WPBN-TV 7 tower moved to Harrietta.

Analog facilities of WJBK-TV 2 and WWJ-TV/WDIV 4 could be viewed for a significant portion of the time near Big Rapids and Cadillac.
