Still no sign of WUDL when I run scans using my cheap $10 short rabbit ears / loop combo. I'll try with the flat panel antenna later in the week.
I'm copying WUDL gangbusters, while still no go (at least with this antenna) with WADL.

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...

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. L...

They run nothing local, all nationally syndicated stuff. BTW NPR is better via streaming.
They run nothing local???
What alternate world's version of WWJ, WJR, WDET, WEMU or WUOM are you tuning into?

I second this. The 56 tower crew hasn't even arrived.

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

AFAIK, WPXD 31 (RF 24) is on its new antenna on the 11 Mile Rd. candelabra. WWJ-TV 62 (44) and WTVS 56 (20) are on from atop the 8 Mile Rd. candelabra, having moved off the "community" temp side mount. WMYD 20 (21 - 8 Mile Rd,) and WKBD 50 (34 - 11 Mile Rd.)switched at Phase 3 last June, and have no...

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

WDIV, its diginet subs and others, are still running their "Rescan your TV" PSAs. If you hadn't done it, you wouldn't be seeing it. Unless it's run for benefit of cable/sat viewers, who might not ever watch OTA.

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

Following the changeover, WDIV on 32 is lousy at my location, lots of dropout and tiling. Perhaps they're on a side mount 32 Aux, until the top of tower ch 45 gets replaced. WADL had announced that their changeover would be after 1pm 3/13. Don't know when WWJ is shutting down 44 and moving programin...

She's been "disappeared" from the WXYZ website and promotionals, like she was never there.

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

At some unspecified time during the day Thurs 3/5, a chopper and tower crew will be doing an antenna changeover for WPXD/31, on the WKBD tower on 11 mile road. The RF50 stick now in use will be detached from the candelabra and lifted away, then replaced with a new ch24 radiator. WKBD will be off the...

Re: RePack Phase 8 started

WADL is announcing Noon on 3/13 for their switch. So, everybody will be turning on their new channels at very different times, and days (WXYZ on 3/7). That sure isn't very viewer-friendly. :roll:
