Thanks Mtownsend,
That already explains a lot. I was wondering if I was actually getting the signal from atop Sandia Peak (All albuquerque towers are there and it's about 130 miles away). That didn't seem possible, but I was wondering if digital could do that. I already knew the direction etc of the translators, it's just that these call letters didn't show on the chart and I didn't know the source. My location is such, that I can actually receive signals from both sets of translators.
I am curious as to why the digital signal is sooooo much better than analog has ever been, and also why sometimes I get no signal. I should point out that there is snow on the ground, and back in the old analog days it seemed like I got better reception when the ground was snow covered.

If I'm able to get a signal of this quality with my old set up, then I wonder what a new appropriate antenna on a higher mast would do?

Here's the new plot http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...27ee1be993ec5c

Thanks,
Birddog
