Oct. 31, 2018, 9:29 p.m. cd.. It looks like WTVD-11 is your farthest VHF-Hi, although I don't know exactly where WFXI xmtr was. WFXI is dark, not even sharing.. they got $42 Million in the FCC auction. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Oct. 31, 2018, 8:47 p.m. [20:33] Andrew, you'll do better on VHF-Hi than you think... you just need some solid tropo. DXing is too easy if the channel is empty!! de dtvdxer NY FN31
Oct. 31, 2018, 8:33 p.m. I also have locals WCDN-LD 7 @ 22 miles, WJW-8 @ 22 miles, WOIO-10 @ 22 miles, and semi-local WMFD-12 @ 50 miles... no more high-VHF DX for me. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 31, 2018, 8:30 p.m. Unfortunately with the repack, high-VHF is becoming a trash pit of local low powers... WIVM-LD 11 @ 24 miles, WIVX-LD 13 @ 17 miles, and eventually W44CR-13 @ 50 miles (3 kW). So high-VHF will be about done for DXing here. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 31, 2018, 8:03 p.m. [18:00] I will take a low power if it will add to my totals. These could not be Tampa, as 29/44 showed little to nothing. de cd FL EL96
Oct. 31, 2018, 8 p.m. Andrew, Chrisyopher Dunne has us both beat!! de dtvdxer NY FN31
Oct. 31, 2018, 7:59 p.m. Andrew, my distance (WNCT-10) comes to 481.37mi (FCC calculator) , but different calculators will show different results. And my co-ords are only to nearest second, which is approx +/- .02 miles. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Oct. 31, 2018, 7:49 p.m. [18:00] My VHF Tr record is either WYES 11 Nawlins, WTVD 11 NC or WFXI 8 NC./cdel96 de cd FL EL96
Oct. 31, 2018, 6:31 p.m. Steve, that tropo path you're receiving to Detroit looks like it'll extend just north of Lake Erie... looks like it will avoid my area, but I'll keep watch. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 31, 2018, 6:30 p.m. My farthest high-VHF is 480.29 miles. Chris, you beat me by 0.71 miles. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 31, 2018, 6:28 p.m. Tr WXYZ 41/7, Detroit, MI 258 mi. from Milford, IL via autologger, 100' tower. de indysteve IN EM69
Oct. 31, 2018, 6 p.m. cd ... Good DX!, especiallly for VHF. My farthet VHF-HI log is only 481 mi.... I have 28 UHF logs that are farther. Intriguing poissiblilties on 21, 47 &14 if you got past the FL low powers. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Oct. 31, 2018, 3:35 p.m. Christopher Dunne, now if we can just get a tropo path OH>FL passing through the Appalachians. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 31, 2018, 3:25 p.m. I am working 10 hours today, but I hope it improves tonight; never could decode the 21 & 47. Even 14 had a sub-d, and Orlando was "meh" even when aiming there, so something was up. de cd FL EL96
Oct. 31, 2018, 3:24 p.m. 550 miles, Andrew. It's a relog---they were my very first look at MeTV around 2011./cdel96 de cd FL EL96
Oct. 31, 2018, 2:26 p.m. It'd be nice to have the VHF Propagation map working. It's been offline for over a month. RabbitEars has started using another mapping. I wonder if the APRS map will get online soon. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 31, 2018, 2:24 p.m. Nice log Christopher Dunne... what's the distance? Do you have any Myrtle Beach DTVs in your logbook? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 31, 2018, 2:21 p.m. Tr 8/25 WOLO SC, added a -5 (StartTV); also sub-d's on 21 & 47 (not Tampa area). de cd FL EL96

Oct. 30, 2018, 12:55 p.m. WQHS installed their new post-repack channel 36 antenna, but a defect has caused the pattern to be off 6 degrees. They filed an application for the new slightly revised pattern which can be seen on RabbitEars. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Oct. 30, 2018, 5:14 a.m. ... There are some losses in the combiners & feed-lines so, in the real world, it works out a little less... Maybe 2.5 db each time you double the number of ants. de Ed W-KY EM56
Oct. 30, 2018, 5:10 a.m. ... Say you hv a 15 db gain ant to start with... 2 ants gets 18 db, 4 ants gets 21 db, 8 ants gets 24 db, etc de Ed W-KY EM56
Oct. 30, 2018, 5:09 a.m. In theory, each time you double the number of antennas you get an additional 3 db... de Ed W-KY EM56
Oct. 30, 2018, 5 a.m. As all of TV gets squished into 2-36, highly directional antennas (parabolics & stacked Yagi's) will help to sort out DX de Ed W-KY EM56
Oct. 30, 2018, 4:55 a.m. Thinking about it, your P-7 antenna has more signal receiving area and the 91XG has a narrow signal receiving area to receive signal. I guess two stacked side by side increases the signal receiving area plus squeezees more gain out of them de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Oct. 30, 2018, 4:50 a.m. I have only one up. maybe I may do the same someday also. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Oct. 30, 2018, 4:47 a.m. I've got 4 of them :-) thot about stacking them, someday de Ed W-KY EM56
Oct. 30, 2018, 4:43 a.m. Ed, You have a 91XG stored up right? The 91XG might give your big P-7 antenna a run for it's money DX wise ;-) de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Oct. 30, 2018, 4:38 a.m. Ed, the HD-8200 does good on UHF but the 91XG beats on strong and weaker Signals on DTV stations. The 91XG will have a 10 to 20 stronger signal on the same channels. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Oct. 30, 2018, 4:30 a.m. I tried the Radio Shack old silver and the newer Black FM Traps and it could not kill or beat down the 90.3 WBRH local station here. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40

Oct. 30, 2018, 4:23 a.m. The HD-8200 beats my antennacraft Y10-7-13 antenna for receiving VHF HI stations. https://www.solidsignal.com/m/product.aspx?p=y10-7-13 de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40

Oct. 30, 2018, 4:10 a.m. There is on VHF Lo channel within Tropo range of my location. It is KCWX DT-5 in Fredericksburg Texas. I need to get a FM Trap from Tin Lee electronics that will in block RF-5. Once I get that the HD-8200 should not have any problem receiving that channel via Tropo. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Oct. 30, 2018, 4:06 a.m. I haven't had a VHF ant (other than the CS-1100 mounted on the clothes-line pole for Es season) since June of 2017... de Ed W-KY EM56
Oct. 30, 2018, 3:55 a.m. [03:53] I haven't received any VHF Lo stations on it yet. No Es or nearby stations in Tropo range here. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Oct. 30, 2018, 3:53 a.m. Ed, one thing I noticed about HD-8200 and it probably will apply to your HD-1850 antenna is it does do great on VHF HI via Tropo. I have received any VHF Lo stations on it yet. No Es or nearby stations in Tropo range here. de amfmtvdtvbrla LA EM40
Oct. 30, 2018, 3:35 a.m. Andrew & Bobby... I suspect ur Winegard is a much better built antenna than the Antennacraft but, when I bought it, several yrs ago, it was the biggest V/U combo I could find... de Ed W-KY EM56

Oct. 29, 2018, 9:26 p.m. It took KY wx almost 8 yrs to destroy the last ant system... we'll see how long this one lasts de Ed W-KY EM56

Oct. 29, 2018, 8:52 p.m. Ed, your Antennacrap antenna should do well. I love my combo antenna. It's a Winegard 8200... not the best, but it gets the job done. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 29, 2018, 8:50 p.m. [20:47] That was quick. Bob Hawkins said he logged WTVF this afternoon in the absense of WRTV (218 miles for him). de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Oct. 26, 2018, 8:52 p.m. After the repack, the entire Charleston/Huntington market won't be receivable here. All channels will be cochannel to locals. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:48 p.m. Chris, I've already logged WLPX a couple times, but it was really rare. The other Charleston area DTVs were full scale, and WLPX was barely decoding. An even rarer one is WTSF 44/61, only seen from using my portable setup at a particular location. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:38 p.m. [23:52] Andrew, WLPX is at a different site than WVAH & WCHS, and a lot lower elevation. However, WLPX has more powr (1000kw) and their DA favors you. Keep trying. Don't be surprised if you log WLPX when WCHS & WVAH are NOT coming in. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:24 p.m. I agree Andrew. With the autologger running on one tuner, the second tuner parked on a channel would log a station the first tuner didn't even see! de Jim-T MO EM37
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:22 p.m. I have an LG TV. You've got to have each RF channel "SAVED" (added) before DXing in order for DX not to disappear. You have to use Manual Tuning to do that. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:19 p.m. DXing using the channel scan is like shooting a target 50 miles away and hoping you hit the bullseye. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:19 p.m. I had given him a Digital Stream box a couple years ago. The only way for it to see ALL channels was to run a scan. I think he got used to doing that. de Jim-T MO EM37
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:19 p.m. [19:11] Unless he sees "WESH" on something other than rf-11, or someone else also reports "WESH" where it is unexpected, I would have no reason to question it. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Oct. 26, 2018, 8:10 p.m. He said it happened so quickly it caught him off guard. It happened when he was doing channel scans. The first time he didn't believe it... de Jim-T MO EM37
Oct. 26, 2018, 8:04 p.m. Hi Jim, did he get any photos to document the catch? It might be legit. I've seen some nice long-haul captures across the southern states recently, but who knows. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Oct. 25, 2018, 8:50 p.m. November and even December are good for long-haul tropo here. So there should be more to come, hopefully. This weather pattern has killed the tropo here, but I did notice little indicators that there's some DX flying around. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Oct. 11, 2018, 4:03 p.m. There's nothing to see on the Zenith converter box, absolutely nothing. That's why I said it's like trying to view an analog signal with a DTV box.

The signal strength meter goes up to around 100% with nothing showing. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Oct. 3, 2018, 5:22 p.m. Steve, what was the reason for WFLD showing up on channel 24 on the Milford autologger chart? That certainly confused me. I would've thought that maybe they were testing. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 3, 2018, 4:59 p.m. Andrew, WWRS uses wrong TSID code, for an OKC station. That was bogus the other day. I believe most DXers are aware of the strange occurances. de indysteve IN EM69
Oct. 3, 2018, 3:22 p.m. And then you have certain channels transmitting incorrect TSID so that DXers mysteriously receive a low power UHF from Oklahoma at 2000 miles. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Oct. 3, 2018, 3:21 p.m. The autologger maps often show false channels if there is a main channel and a DRT, like WOIO. I also noticed that several of my past logs on the map are now showing incorrect channel numbers... KYTV for example was logged here on 44 a few months ago, but the map is now showing 19 (because that is its new channel). de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
