Default When will we get rid of this (RF JUNK)??

Dear Jim NN7K:

In this area, Channel 25 continues to inform those who have yet to convert.

The station in your area that is performing the same service on channel 2
must be KTVN with an analog station some 39 km from you (and digital signal
on channel 13 some 33 km from you).

I note that by next month, as many as 12 digital stations might remain on
channel 2 in the US. FCC records are not clear, but it is expected that the
actual number will be smaller. What is clear is that many, many mostly low
power TV stations will continue to use channel 2. Within 200 km of you, a 4
watt station at 163km (165 degrees) and a 3 kw station at 169 km (284
degrees) are expected to continue.

It has been a mystery why any TV stations will continue to transmit on
channels 2-6 and above 51.

Channel 2 stations are supposed to have stopped transmitting , in analog,
and gone to Digital-
So WHY is Channel 2 (with NO call sign I have heard) STILL transmitting ,
Analog, in Reno ,
NV, with a 24/7 informercial, on how to convert to Digital ???
When, o when, will Channel 2 Finally DISAPPEAR from the spectrum (in
Reno)?? How many MORE
areas are still broadcasting analog , in violation of the Digital
Conversion ?
Inquiring minds want to know! :-( Jim NN7K
