Where I'm sitting here in Whittier, KABC 7 is so strong
I can get it without even a cable plugged in!

It's 50, 56, and 58 I worry about; 2-13 and 28 are covered;
I'm looking forward to seeing if my new bowtie
(from that youtube video, but with ER708-2 x 1/16 filler rod)
will pick up PAX on 30.
They have some nice oldies sometimes.


Frequency re-allocations were mentioned up the thread in

Here's what you can expect to get in one part of Whittier
with a 20' mast:

(Your exact zip code and elevation may give different results.)

The lowest commercial channel you will get is the
faith-healer/preachy-movie channel reallocated from 40 to 23.

The *all will move below 52* statement in Platt's wasn't accurate.
While KDOC56 will move to 32, KLCS58 will move to 41,
and KOCE50 will move to 48,
**KCOP13 will move to 66 and KCET28 will move to 59**.
