Jan. 1, 2017, 12:11 a.m. Looks like nice skip. Nothing here... too far West. Despite a lot of Es logs & relogs this year, I didn't get KHME-2 this year... it would have been a nice way to end the year. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Jan. 1, 2017, midnight All gone here. de Jon ON FN03
Jan. 31, 2017, 11:08 p.m. [13:31] That ain't happening. The HD quality from the Canadians is often better than the Americans due to lack of sub-channels. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 31, 2017, 5:43 p.m. I just IDed a source of noise to low-VHF here at home... MY COFFEE MAKER!!! It adds so much noise to low-VHF, that when I plug it in, the signal strength on channel 2 goes up 20% on the HDHR tuner!!! de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 31, 2017, 1:31 p.m. Bill, maybe you'll get lucky and all the Toronto DTVs will go to one UHF channel on the CN Tower. The Canadian DTVs don't have any sub-channels anyways. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 9:26 p.m. Maybe we'll get lucky with the repack and all OTA stations will move to a single transmitter per metro area... 10 SD stations per UHF transmitter. I'm dreaming. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 7:50 p.m. Thanks Jim. I know how the FCC feels about the repack. Back in the analog era, I only had a grand total of 19 channels. Now I have 65 channels to watch, so no need to use up all that extra spectrum they don't need. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 7:35 p.m. Results will be posted here...http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/default.htm?job=auctions_home de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 7:24 p.m. We're supposed to know the final channel designations after the repack soon???? de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:48 p.m. Right now I have two KSPR's on my tv sets, kind of funky de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:45 p.m. Re: KSPR was an LMA as the ABC affiliate, the station that holds the ABC affiliation has already made changes, waiting for KSPR to go off the air de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:41 p.m. Jim, that's good news for you regarding KSPR. The more stations that do this, the better DXing will be. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:27 p.m. Well I know that KSPR is surrendering their RF 19 for $$. Mentioned that a week ago, an engineer told me that de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:25 p.m. I'm not trying to draw any conclusions Chris. I'll just wait for the public info in a couple weeks. I hope you are on top of it :-) de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:23 p.m. ...as Doug pointed out, it offers the possibilities of more OTA sources without comprimising the picture de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:23 p.m. A iimulationi is a simulation. It is not real. It does not include data as to which stations are going dark or sharing. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:23 p.m. Andrew, I'm with you. I think part of the reason there is such a push with ATSC 3.0... de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:22 p.m. Nevermind, seems that information is old. KPXE KC shows they are on 51, they moved to RF 30 over a year ago de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:20 p.m. Many DXers gave up after analog went away, but there's so much good stuff out there right now!! de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:20 p.m. Jim, I would assume that's what that means... it's going off the air or sharing with another local channel. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:18 p.m. In the FCC simulation, it shows KODE 43/12 Joplin MO as 43/0...does that mean they are going off the air? de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:17 p.m. that's "closest stations logged" I must learn to type one day de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:13 p.m. My closed station logged on each UHF channel 17-51 is 72 miles or less. Ch 14 is 198mi, ch 15 is 241, ch 16 is 139mi. Ch 14&15 have land-mobilde QRM. Best VHf is ch 5 at 227mi. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:12 p.m. I'm optimistic too.... I'm already in a more crowded situation than many other areas... de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:10 p.m. There are a lot of incentives for broadcasters to share. And if that happens, then it will be great for DX. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:08 p.m. ...just a few or a couple transmitters per metro area is enough for one HD channel if there is a lot of sharing going on. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:07 p.m. The FCC has said that this new spectrum is more than enough for OTA. They never intended for there to be so many sub-channels. I just hope that the repack doesn't mean that they cram stations together like sardines. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 4:05 p.m. Yoyu won't know exactly which stations are displaced, and to what channel until info is released by FCC. Then stations can file for modifications. The only thing "iron clad" is 38-51 will be empty. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 30, 2017, 3:53 p.m. Too much pessimism going on here regarding the spectrum repack... I know OTA isn't what it used to be, but it has evolved over the past 20 years to provide a lot of programming options. The older we get, the more resistant we are to change. I'm trying to remain optimistic and see what happens. Perhaps ATSC 3.0 will help. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 30, 2017, 3:48 p.m. 15:46 "has stations will be displaced", meant to say 'has stations listed and shows how they will be displaced' de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 3:46 p.m. So when I look at 84 MHz, I wonder if those new channel assignments are iron clad?? de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 3:46 p.m. Each market has groupings of chunks of bandwidth and has stations will be displaced de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 3:45 p.m. In this link - http://data.fcc.gov/download/incentive-auctions/Simulation_Results/AggIX-DMA.xlsx de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 30, 2017, 1:35 a.m. The FCC is clearinng 84 MHz.. everything 38-51. Some are going off, the rest are moving to 2-36. Also some 2-36 are going off and some of moving, and many 2-36 are staying put.. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 30, 2017, 12:46 a.m. If the FCC is moving everything above rf 38 (614 MHz), does that mean they are clearing 78 MHz of spectrum? de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 29, 2017, 10:31 p.m. "some Canadian" de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 29, 2017, 10:31 p.m. Also, I think come Canadian stations will be changing channels, even though they are all staying on the air. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 29, 2017, 9:30 p.m. FCC wants to change existing allocations as little as possible, but there will be changes. In a couple of weeks, we should know how it's going to shake out. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 29, 2017, 9:30 p.m. I'm thinking that Buffalo being the bigger market, and with its proximity to Toronto-Hamilton, that Buffalo allocations are worked out first, then other markets (Rochester-Jamestown-Erie etc) adjusted as necessary. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 29, 2017, 9:12 p.m. It's going to be messy no matter what considering the Toronto-Hamilton stations are all staying. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 29, 2017, 9:11 p.m. No way to figure that out. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 29, 2017, 7:14 p.m. Does that 16-Buffalo scenario include WXXI & WSEE staying on the air and on 16? de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 29, 2017, 7:02 p.m. I'll need to get a UHF dish just for TV viewing to separate those 16s. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 29, 2017, 6:59 p.m. That's closer than the 1949 close-spacing that spurred a TV freeze to re-figure out minimum spacings. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 29, 2017, 6:59 p.m. Hang on, 16 is used in Erie too!! So ... Erie, Buffalo & Rochester on 16 - - yeah that'll work. lol. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 29, 2017, 6:57 p.m. 16 is also used in Rochester - so the CCI should be fierce during tropo nights. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 29, 2017, 6:57 p.m. I guess the FCC is expecting a lot stations to go off air or merge in my market - only new channel for Buffalo is 16. de WRH ON FN03
Jan. 29, 2017, 12:36 a.m. The link has a few Excel files. There's so much jumbled data that I had to sort the data and look for my particular city. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 28, 2017, 2:57 a.m. Andrew, do you have a link to the computer calculations? de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 28, 2017, 1:56 a.m. FCC has a bunch of possible computer-calculated outcomes of the spectrum auction. It's showing RF 22 as a possible option for an Akron local above channel 37 to move to, and RF 33 as an open channel for a full-power Cleveland DTV to fill if spectrum is too full. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 27, 2017, 9:55 p.m. Es weak 2z vid-car (55.25) hanging on... No sign of audio at 59.75... Not a peep on 6M de Ed W-KY EM56
Jan. 27, 2017, 9:31 p.m. Here in the Northeast most of the channels 14-21 are for land-mobile. Of these, NYC is using only 18 & 21... it should stay that way. Most of my DX will likely be confined to 14-21 when repacking is done. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Jan. 27, 2017, 7:39 p.m. [16:33] Chris, I'd be happy to sacrifice all my locals to the neighboring markets. Detroit and Pittsburgh will have a harder time cramming everything below channel 37. They've already got a lot of main channels above that. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 27, 2017, 7:08 p.m. Detroit has a lot of channels that will need to go... WADL, WXYZ, WTVS, WWJ, WDIV, and WPXD will all need to vacate. I know WADL and WPXD will likely go away. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 27, 2017, 7:06 p.m. The channels above 37 will be the ones to keep an eye on. As they slowly go off the air, we'll see more and more long-haul DX until there's eventually nothing left. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 27, 2017, 6:42 p.m. I guess spectrum re-packing is a global event. Just read Guatemala is going to re-pack their TV spectrum by 2020 de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 6:07 p.m. That LMA is expiring and KYTV has already made changes so they are no longer dependent on what KSPR is doing de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 6:07 p.m. The engineer told me if they don't sell it, they are going to shut it down eventually. They had an LMA with KYTV de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 6 p.m. IF KSPR participated in the auction, they might be going dark for something like $50M. Not every station "wins". If they are not going dark, they can try to find a buyer for KSPR at market prices. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 27, 2017, 5:58 p.m. Jim, The DTV station auction bidding is complete... the wireless bidding continues for another 2-3 weeks. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 27, 2017, 5:24 p.m. So have they completed the auction phases? de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 5:21 p.m. ...are hoping to sell it.... don't know why they think they can sell an RF 19 channel? de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 5:20 p.m. I was told by a local TV engineer that my local ABC affiliate KSPR owners are hoping to see it (RF 19) ???? de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 5:15 p.m. Jim, I'm just trying to stay up-to-date on this auction/repacking, as it will have a big impact on DTV DX. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 27, 2017, 5:03 p.m. Chris, saw your email. You must really be doing research on this. de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 4:59 p.m. Es ch2z - south w/Spanish in briefly for a few minutes de fred SC FM03af
Jan. 27, 2017, 4:54 p.m. [16:32} Rewording "16:32" -- Fewer stations will need to go off with only channel 38-51 going to wireless, than the orig 30-51. Thus,Ion might remain. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 27, 2017, 4:33 p.m. [15:26} Andrew,maybe you'll luck out and 23 will be assigned to Detroit,-Pittsburgh-Columbus,and leave you with a DXable channel. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 27, 2017, 4:32 p.m. [15:26] Remember with fewer than the orig ch 30-51 stations needing to go off, Ion stations might remain if they don't bid low enough. Also, eventually some other Cleveland-Youngstown area station could end up on ch 23. de dtvdxer NY FN31
Jan. 27, 2017, 4:28 p.m. Yes Andrew, I've heard that ION is wanting to reposition as one sub-channel, partner with other broadcasters. Possibly divide up the multiple channels they currently run de Jim-T MO EM37
Jan. 27, 2017, 3:26 p.m. Ion has already expressed interest in selling, so WVPX won't have much longer. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
Jan. 27, 2017, 3:25 p.m. I'm just wondering how soon my local blowtorch WVPX 23 will go off the air in the spectrum auction. I want to see some DX on that channel. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 3, 2017, 6:25 p.m. Yesterday, I couldn't figure out why my UHF signals were suddenly so messy. The Zenith had a hard time decoding easy ones, and the HDHR was indicating higher signals. Apparently (and for unknown reasons) the VHF antenna began overloading the preamp when it wasn't before. I put a good FM trap back on, and it completely fixed the problem. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Jan. 2, 2017, 4:50 p.m. Jim, there's been a lot of station shuffling lately, maybe in part for the sell of spectrum, and maybe in part for upcoming ATSC 3.0.
