Agreed, just moving from L-VHF to UHF likely helped a lot, especially since most HDTV antennas are optimized for UHF. Whether or not they boosted the power level, the anecdotal evidence is that things are much better on channel 14. Friends in downtown Ottawa, Nepean, and Barrhaven all have commented that Global was either iffy or no-signal on L-VHF, but since the move, the signal-strength and quality is now comparable to or better than the other stations on the Camp Fortune Tower. I am seeing the same in the Dunrobin area (I could always get Global, but signal strength and quality was weak before the move).
