Maybe I'm tired and confused because it's late, but how come when WGN signs
off, WBBM must to? I'm obviously missing something here... What does them

In the case tonight it wasn't need.

WBBM and WGN's tx are on the west side of IL 53/I-290 extension about 13
miles SSE of here. They are about 1 1/4 mi (2km) apart based on visual
observation and calculation as well. I had long gone to bed and was unaware
of WGN's outage.
Would be nice to have WGN off on good TA night and see
Nothing much heard here in Rochester with WGN off...I heard and taped
the signoff at 0207 EDT, then set up timer recordings for TOH the rest
of the night and got just a bunch of electrical noise and no sign of
anything else until WGN returned just after 0559 EDT, at which point it
was much
Now here is an idea that Willis will appreciate. Remembering Tesla's
idea for a wireless power distribution system, could one set up an
antenna, tune it to the most powerful transmitter in your vicinity,
and
make use of the received power in your home? There is a lot of wasted
RF

I guess what I'm simply failing to understand and if someone
can kindly understand it without biting my head off... why
would one station 1/2 mile away cause a hotspot for another
and cause another station to sign off?
An antenna picks up a certain amount of power and sends it to a receiver, and
Since the two Chicago stations are very close, and have tall and
efficient gatherers, there can be a dangerous amount of voltage
induced in one tower from the other. I would bet they have traps in
their tuning units to keep the other signal out of their transmitter.
It could cause serious

Nice Going Craig,
I just know we're going to see an Energizer Bunny on steroids. Paul,
