At least in the USA the High Def TV stations are going to make it difficult to use open area sites. The stations look like 6MHz of square wave. Put three of them together and you can not view 18MHz of spectrum.

This is expected to happen in the next two to five years. Is anyone aware of this and if it is true any references? Thank you for your time.
