Feb. 28, 2019, 10:52 p.m. [14:05] It looks like WLFM pays more attention to FB than to FCC or WOUB. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Feb. 28, 2019, 9:50 p.m. The cleverest one I've heard lately was (HOKY) 92.5, "La K-Y", which when pronounced in SS is "La Calle (The Street)." de cd FL EL96

Feb. 28, 2019, 9:47 p.m. [21:18] I no longer see HOWK Metropolis on 93.5. I actually caught them with a brief EE ID, "You are listening to H O W K, Radio Metropolis." de cd FL EL96
Feb. 28, 2019, 9:43 p.m. Thanx Jim. As to the 96.7 you once mentioned, I'd have to get away from here (IBLOCK on 96.5). de cd FL EL96

Feb. 28, 2019, 2:22 p.m. [14:05] One could say that they are indeed working on it, if they are going DT 20; but yeah, that's not the way to tell the FB'ers. de cd FL EL96
Feb. 28, 2019, 2:05 p.m. La Mega 87.7 posted on their Facebook that they're working on their tower, but they're not telling their listeners that they were shut down by the FCC due to WOUC DT 6. I commented and stated this, and my comment was quickly deleted. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Feb. 27, 2019, 9:03 p.m. I can see how this false reading can happen on accident though. Some people manually enter in their GPS coordinates if they plan to use the APRS radio at just their home. And then they travel and forget to change the GPS settings. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 27, 2019, 9:02 p.m. I can send my coordinates to the local Akron digipeater telling it I'm in China. Then I could go to the APRS map and laugh at the giant red blob I created. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 27, 2019, 8:54 p.m. [20:30] I believe it's bogus too. It gives us DXers false hope. de cd FL EL96
Feb. 27, 2019, 8:30 p.m. [19:15] Christopher Dunne, that must be a false reading. I have an APRS handheld radio, and if I felt like it, I could turn off the GPS, manually enter any coordinates I want and start sending APRS packets to my local digipeater. I could artificially create these red blobs if I felt like it. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Feb. 25, 2019, 11:35 p.m. Andrew - is WLFM on autopilot or automation? de cd FL EL96
Feb. 25, 2019, 11:24 p.m. I see a bit of digital static on analog 6, but WLFM-LP is obliterating WOUC-DT despite being aimed right at WOUC. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 11:15 p.m. Wao. de cd FL EL96
Feb. 25, 2019, 10:51 p.m. I got the following email from the WOUC engineer... "I had reached out to WLFM-LP several times to no avail. Today we reached out to WLFM-LP’s legal counsel. They are aware that they need to turn off their system. If it is not turned off by tomorrow morning then we will be forced to ask the FCC to take action. That is not something I want to do to another broadcaster but they have known about this for over a year now." de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 9:52 p.m. Low-VHF frequencies aren't all that bad for certain modes of analog and ham radio here. I get out well on 6 meters with a compromise antenna. It's just the ATSC 1.0 is garbage on low-VHF... that was a huge oversight. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 9:51 p.m. CD, I honestly haven't noticed much if any difference in audio quality on 87.7 in my car while driving around. I am barely noticing any digital static on analog 6. Now I understand why low-VHF is the electrostatic pit. It's absolutely terrible for ATSC 1.0. A station goes from 50% watchable SNR on UHF to zero signal on low-VHF (distance = 69 miles). de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 9:32 p.m. [21:02] What would interest me is if ppl complain to Mega about a strong hiss in the background---if anyone is listening at all. de cd FL EL96
Feb. 25, 2019, 9:17 p.m. I just have a feeling that when WLFM-LP actually goes off the air, I won't see much if any improvement from WOUC DT 6... no signal at all. But on the positive side, channel 6 will be more open to Es. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 9:02 p.m. [20:33] CD, why does this not surprise me? de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 8:33 p.m. All this below is a Mega-disaster-in-the-making.... de cd FL EL96
Feb. 25, 2019, 7:40 p.m. At this point, I'm receiving so much noise on VHF that it wouldn't matter if WLFM-LP 6 went off the air. I still wouldn't receive WOUC DT 6. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Feb. 25, 2019, 6:33 p.m. I wonder if the employees of WLFM-LP have even been notified that they're supposed to go off the air. That'd be a shame if they came in and discovered they didn't have jobs!! de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91

Feb. 25, 2019, 6:09 p.m. Steve, would you be able to copy me on your email to WOUC/WOUB? They can contact me regarding the status of WLFM-LP. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 6:03 p.m. 2nd reply from WOUC: "This is sad news for us. It may explain why they are ignoring my correspondence. According the FCC WLFM has applied for a channel 20 relocation but it has not been granted as of today. Yes we are at full power and should have the same coverage area as we did on channel 35." de indysteve IN EM69

Feb. 25, 2019, 5:47 p.m. I just replied to Steve at WOUC that WLFM-LP is still on the air per Andrew. I'm sure he and station are frustrated with WLFM. de indysteve IN EM69
Feb. 25, 2019, 5:44 p.m. Reply from WOUC eng.: "You are correct. We calculated that WLFM will create about 14% interference to our station. I have reach out to them on three occasions over the past six weeks. They have yet to return any of my correspondence. Presently, I do no know their status." de indysteve IN EM69

Feb. 25, 2019, 5:18 p.m. It's 12:18, and I still have WLFM-LP 6 and absolutely no sign of WOUC DT 6... no yellow signal bar, nothing. WOUC 35 is gone. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 2:56 p.m. Andrew, I sent an email to WOUB (WOUC) inquiring about WLFM still on the air. I'll let you know if I receive a reply. de indysteve IN EM69

Feb. 25, 2019, 2:49 p.m. My home autologger is aimed right at WOUC. It's a borderline signal on DT 35. It'll likely disappear once they move to DT 6. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 2:49 p.m. Thanks for the info Steve de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 2:48 p.m. I went here https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/publicAppSearch.html but didn't find anything relating to this issue. Maybe it's planned that WLFM will pull the plug at 11:59 a.m. You'll find out soon. de indysteve IN EM69
Feb. 25, 2019, 2:38 p.m. Trip told me that WLFM-LP would cause interference that exceeds the allowable. I am not aware of any agreement to allow the interference. Where would I find that? If I was WOUC, I'd tell WLFM-LP to just go away. de Andrew KN8FEL OH EN91
Feb. 25, 2019, 2:33 p.m. Andrew, is WLFM required to leave the air due to WOUC? Or is there an agreement for some temp. interference? I see sister WOUB switches to RF 32 at noon as well. de indysteve IN EM69
Feb. 25, 2019, 2:15 p.m. [04:07] I strongly believe that these were two Cubavisións; sounded like an echo + seeing kinda double. de cd FL EL96
