Wonder what side of the tower 30's antenna is? I know it was all alone
at the top of the old tower since they came on the air. A whole 2 meters! HA Just looking it looks shorter than the old one... 58 was almost unwatchable up here when they were at the old site. When they turned on digital it was very weak. I spoke to someone that worked on the 58 site one day on 444.775. He told me at that time he couldn't see it across town. Boy I bet this is a fun thread for everyone but us... Ben BTW, is David VanHooser still working there? Sure I didn't spell his name right... Interesting also that 30's analog dropped. The towers are within a few dozen feet of each other, and the antenna height actually *increased* (by an entire 2 meters...) on the new tower. They were already running the max 5000kw, and still are, at least according to the FCC DB. |

Hard to tell. I suppose it's possible one of the other poles in the candleabra is in the way... 58 was almost unwatchable up here when they were at the old site.

Maybe they started at even lower power than they're using now? I did note WNPT's DTV on the air this afternoon. It was off again by primetime though. Obviously still testing. BTW, is David VanHooser still working there? Sure I didn't spell his name right... No, and I'm not sure! -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
