April 15, 2017, 3:54 p.m. I asked Trip about why these low-VHFs are so low in power, and he said it was based off an old calculation that's not realistic. He said he expects these low-VHFs to file for more power. WGGN is only shown to have 1.42 kW on channel 3. They're currently using 450 kW on channel 42. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
April 15, 2017, 2:15 p.m. WQED Pittsburgh on RF-2 is also less than 6kw. I suppose these stations will file for better power. de dtvdxer NY FN31
April 15, 2017, 2:09 p.m. I wonder why FCCis so stingy with VHF ERP. In a metro area like Boston, WGBH should be 15-20kw. It's not like ch 5 is crowded.. closest are Delaware and Jamestown, NY de dtvdxer NY FN31

April 14, 2017, 9:11 p.m. [17:11] The 619kw refers to WGBH's current UHF power, adjusted to channel 14. WGBH will be running something less than 10kw on RF-5. de dtvdxer NY FN31
April 14, 2017, 8:42 p.m. Maybe even 6.19 kw ? de Ed W-KY EM56
April 14, 2017, 8:32 p.m. I'd think 619 kw for WGBH is a bit much... Maybe the FCC put the decimal in the wrong place... 61.9 kw would make more sense. de Ed W-KY EM56

April 14, 2017, 2:56 p.m. [14:46] I agree. I always wondered why the FCC even permitted WDLI/WNWO/WTAP 49 and WEAO/WQLN/WPCB/WPXD/WDTN 50 to be so close together. It doesn't take much tropo to wreak havoc, but then again, they don't consider tropo when making these allocations.
