WUDT 23

[Gerald1981!]

While the station is having some technical problems right now, is the station pretty close to moving back to VHF 8 after the repack?

[Gerald1981!]

Are they still working on the transmitter during this coronavirus pandemic?

[MotorCityRadioFreak]

I can never get this OTA.

[fuzzpower]

I don’t think they’ve moved. No sniff of WNWO, now also on physical 23.

[YpsiGuy]

WNWO is fully licensed now on a new transmitter at 275kW. It’s a directional, much like WUPW. I would assume they are still working on the equipment since I haven’t seen the signal boost yet.

[Deleted User 3751]

WUDT has a good signal in western Wayne Co. I have an outside antenna.

[szmigiel]

It's like WUDT doesn't plan to move to 8 unless they are forced off 23.

[Gerald1981!]

WUDT was on RF 8 before, so why are they moving back there to RF 8?

[innate-in-you]

Likely because WUDT on 23 will cause co-channel interference to WNWO in some areas south of Detroit.

Do batwing antennas sneeze?

I'm guessing that the Channel 8 antenna and waveguide were left in place when they upgraded to 23. Now I guess they will merely undo the channel shift.

[YpsiGuy]

The FCC has granted WNWO full license to fire up their 275kW transmitter on RF23.

Move it or lose it, WUDT.

It’s religious crap, anyway.

[YpsiGuy]

WNWO switched over to their new 275kW transmitter in late September.

I am suspecting co-channel interference between WUDT and WNWO.

Move your GD channel, religious freaks.

I used the Indian summer record nice weather to get on my roof and finally mount my outdoor antenna nice and high and straight. Did a rescan and found out that there is now 23.2, and no signal on 8 at all, I think they plan to stay until they are forced off 23.
