Bob, One other note on the VHF lo and 6 m. 6 might improve due to the HDTV stations will be able to run considerably lower power. Our Ch 10 on VHF hi will go from 42 kW RF, 216 kW ERP, to avarage 2 kW with 10 kW peak RF. They will also like the electric bill more, hi.
Not sure what power levels will be at VHF lo transmitters, but will reduce the affects on 6 m. For me there is only a ch 3 on VHF lo and it is over 50 miles away. Nearest ch 2 is over 80 miles. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: 2008/07/10 Thu AM 10:03:26 EDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Measuring Desense > >Regarding the "note" at the end of the article: TV 2, 4 & 5 will go dark at >the analog/DTV cutover in Feb. 2009.
