WNYF-CD and the proposed WNYF-LD have the highest power allocations we could apply for when factoring adjacent stations, interference etc. Because we maximized to the extent we were permitted the range is better for their DTV coverage over their old analog coverage. As was the case with analog...the signal can and will travel beyond the "coverage map"...that is more a picture of where certain receivable levels are anticipated.Jim Corbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655946677868429317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818819810550073239.post-66610470352826885402010-07-23T10:51:11.611-04:002010-07-23T10:51:11.611-04:00Isnt LP understating the potential range for the N...Isnt LP understating the potential range for the Norwood signal?

Will I get the new station in St.Lawrence co. on 28.1 also? In other words will I get two 28.1's<br /><br />Marty<br />OgdensburgMarty Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818819810550073239.post-53446033354765510532010-06-09T09:20:49.543-04:002010-06-09T09:20:49.543-04:00And one more thing -- if you want to see TVFool...And one more thing -- if you want to see TVFool's coverage plot for WNYF-LP, click on the WNYF entry mentioned above, and the Google Map view will change to one centred on the transmitter (instead of the receiver location you specified in Online TV Maps), with a colour-coded display of Longley-Rice coverage predictions.Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251068226478294338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818819810550073239.post-36985863292823655702010-06-09T08:49:50.267-04:002010-06-09T08:49:50.267-04:00Many FCC records in "App" state are visi...Many FCC records in "App" state are visible in the Online TV Maps (at http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=90).<br /><br />Fill in your address, and on the first result screen, click on the "Current and Pending" Display option. WNYF-LP ch 18 then shows up in the digital column. (Note that the pending stations won't show up in the Radar Plot [If you are quick, you'll see WNYF show up briefly and then disappear.])<br /><br />Of course, given that the propagation characteristics for channels 18 and 23 from the location would be similar, then simply subtracting 10 dB from the values for WNPI also gives a good approximation.Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251068226478294338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818819810550073239.post-28998295019201285902010-06-09T07:40:11.861-04:002010-06-09T07:40:11.861-04:00Work has started on the site and we now need to ar...Work has started on the site and we now need to arrange delivery of the transmitter.
