Perhaps you consider those power levels equivalent to 40kW and 55kW?

Nothing false about it working well in my area.
RF35 is also the WCYB. Instead of watching the originating broadcast
of WCYB, you watch a translator rebroadcasting it. That is certainly
not the same and likely of lower audio/video quality. Further, translators
are NOT a priority for engineers in these days of cost cutting. When the
fail and they all do fail from time to time, engineers are in no hurry
to get them repaired.


The DAT picks up RF35 consistently You seemed to have missed that particular point of information.
It is rather important as it is providing complete coverage of the local affiliates. You mean "fill in" coverage for WCYB.

Your observation concerning single cut antennas was both inane and irrelevant. That is about as inane and irrelevant as you suggesting that
an antenna designed for a small portion of the broadcast spectrum
would perform similarly to an antenna designed for a larger portion of
the broadcast spectrum

It had no pertinence to the test results being presented.
It is YOU who are IMPERTINENT.

And once again. I will point out. My testing is not being done in a lab.
Unless you consider the great outdoors a lab with controlled conditions.

I am quite certain that both the intellectual and technical contributions you have thus contributed to this thread have in some manner impressed the TVFool audience observing this discussion.
Coming from someone called "SEV" has me rolling with laughter!!!!!!
