Re: RePack Phase 8 started

It wouldn't surprise me if this e-skip everyone worries about isn't a problem either. We'll see in the summer. But I think it's a dramatization. We're not yet into sporadic-e and tropo season, which can run into early summer. Whether it's a problem will depend on how many other Channel 3 signals th...

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

There is no CBC station in Sault Ste. Marie, I was thinking of CICI CTV Sudbury. Also, the microwave totally knocked out channel 3 this morning, otherwise it's perfect. So happy I have it! I've been spending almost 2 years waiting to see if I'd receive it, worrying that I'd lose it, partly caused by...

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

It took me a while to get them, but I can verify, they aren't April fooling. Coming in in Melvindale indoors at 47/100 Digital low VHF isn't that bad so far. Honestly, the electrical interference everyone was worried about is near nonexistent. Turning on the microwave hardly affected it. It only wen...

Thank goodness, I was worried about what would happen with WMYD's Antenna TV affiliation

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

Anyone have any updates on WHNE? Their facebook page still has their posting from the 12th, anticipating they'd be back 'in a week or two', and it's been about two weeks. Are they making progress or have they been stunted by the Covid shutdowns or some other issue? On March 21, they said they'd be ...

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

I started a phase 9 thread, since we have some phase 9 stations in the area, and because this thread is getting too long, in my opinion.

Re: WADL Tests on RF27

Although you said it's low priority, I'd like to ask if you're using a pre amp, what antenna you're using, and what kind of coax (RG6 or RG59) you're using. Make sure the preamp is getting power and that the antenna is aimed at the tri-point where Clinton Twp., St. Clair Shores, and Fraser meet. It...

RePack Phase 9 Started

We have 2 stations moving during this phase. WUDT-LD (Daystar) RF 23 to RF 8 (was supposed to have already moved) WADL (IND) RF 39 to RF 27 (already moved) This phase ends May 1, and is the last phase that will affect Detroit-area TV stations in the U.S. During the next phase, the only stations in t...

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

I'm getting all Detroit stations except WUDL and WLPC at my house in Melvindale UPDATE: I am able to get WUDL with an amp, and WLPC comes in when my antenna is in a really weird position. I may have already said this, but who's even keeping track? :razz My setup is a Clearstream 2 Max with a 12 dB ...

Re: WADL Tests on RF27

Pretty much a literal No Show in NW Det. Had a decent signal on RF39, just stutter and tiling on 27. This with an 8-bay screen array aimed at them. (edit) OK on a couple of other sets w different antennas, Still NG on main set/antenna. Might have to try re-aiming again, maybe replace lead-in coax. ...
