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

Dear Jim NN7K: Actually, channel 2 in Flagstaff has been off the air for
a while. KNAZ Flagstaff is digital on channel 22 and duplicates the
programming of KPNX (digital channel 12).

WJBK Detroit, which was on channel 2, is now digital on channel 7.

Outside of (mostly) low power relay stations, these are the most likely
channel 2 (digital) stations actually on the air:
KREX Grand Junction CO 800 w
WLBZ Bangor ME 3 kw
KNOP North Platte NE 16 kw
KVBC Las Vegas NV 27.7 kw
KOTA Rapid City SD 7.1 kw
KJWY Jackson WY 270 w

Looks as if the station south of you will be the most strong channel 2
source of interference (after KTVN goes off the air)..

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.

Mac- here (should be ) the list of U.S. TV stations, both former, and
their new channel assignments ( in PDF format). As this list shows,
only close Channel 2 left , would be in Flagstaff, AZ.

Note: this doesn't cover translators, nor low power stations.
