Re: WHNE STA

Thanks for your suggestions! 8) But there's still some things I could not find the answer to. Horizontal dipole reflectors are 5% longer than the half wavelength (half wavelength in this case is 7.8 ft, with a reflector length of 8.2 ft). Would the folded dipole reflector length be 8.2 ft, or is it ...

Re: WHNE STA

I would use a folded dipole for better bandwidth. I would just use a horizontal polarization. Circular and Elliptical antennas are more difficult and tricky. You could use one of the early designs for the folded dipole, with an aluminum tube and a heavy gauge wire connected at the ends to the tube....

This is so I can troubleshoot problems easily and can avoid going on the roof just because of a loosened coax cable or something like that. Plus, the cable run would be shorter. And I want ...

WADL has a 1080, 5 480s, and an audio channel. They all look great.

WTVG 13.4's picture and audio quality are superb! I'll be watching this instead of WDIV DT3.

Re: WHPS 15.1

It's not really much of a "blowtorch", getting a low power station within 25 miles is standard.

Good News! ME-TV Toledo will be airing on WTVG 13.4 beginning October 1. Looks like I'll be watching The Flintstones after all. Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Source?

EDIT: I see the announcement on MeTV's website. Hooray! Now I have a secondary affiliate for when WDIV pre-empts MeTV shows!

WTOL may be removing MeTV

rabbitears.info states MeTV will be replaced with Justice Network. Hopefully MeTV will just be moved to 11.4 or maybe Justice is actually going to be on 11.4 If your area loses MeTV, I'm so sorry. If MeTV goes to WMNT, I'm even more sorry EDIT: They definitely will, Google "wtol metv" and you'll see...

Wonder which episode didn't air...the one where kevin is a dolt or the other 300 where Kevin is a dolt
The one where Kevin is a dolt and his wife is all smug and superior about it.
And don't forget, the one where his father in law is absolutely hilarious!

The bigger screw up is that someone likes King of Queens enough to get this worked up over it
People say I get worked up over a lot of things, I think it's due to my diagnosed mental disorders, which I'm uncomfortable talking about.
