Feburary 17,2009 is when all tv broadcast programs in America must
switch from Analog to HD tv.How will that affect DXing? TV sets really
are a form of Radio,you know.

Hmm - that seems rather fast - not for the TV stations but for the
consumers to replace their TV receivers.

Of course, the British made all the TV receivers obsolete when they
went from 405-line VHF to 625-line UHF with PAL color available but I
think it must have taken decades for them to shut off the old
transmitters.
