K51DW is a (low quality) repeater to the south on the hills overlooking Dillon that broadcasts in analog. We have the antenna pointed there now for news. We get a really nice analog signal, unfortunately, K51DW simply picks up the digital NBC signal from Butte using an OTA antenna, I guess. It has lots of problems with pixelation, frame freezes and the broadcast site not being able to get a digital signal lock from Butte.
PBS chan 24 is apparently near Whitehall, so it can serve the Butte, Bozeman and Dillon areas. That explains why I was able to get PBS 24 but not the other more distant Bozeman channels on the same heading.
I'll try playing with the antenna elevation at 1 to 10 feet and let you know if anything changes significantly.
Thanks - Rob
