    Baltimore VHF

    WJZ applied to use a non-directional antenna on RF11 to maximize their post repack signal. Licensing and Management System Right now Baltimore has a non-directional RF11 station, WBAL. If WJZ could use non directional operation on RF11 without interfering with other RF11 stations after the...

    WETA and MPT channel switch up in DC/MD

    WETA got a technically challenging channel 14 assignment in the repack. Yesterday some major modifications were filed where WETA would go to 31, WMPT will go to 21, WFPT will go to 28, and WCPB will go to 16. So WETA and the MPT stations want to shuffle things to get WETA on a better channel...

    CP Signal strength search on rabbitears

    Is it possible to search construction permits when doing an address search from RabbitEars.Info and selecting the “Strength Search (optional)” check box? With all the channel changes from the repack it would be nice to know what the modeled signal will be for stations on their new channels.

    Best package(s) for 2016 Olympics

    With DIRECTV what will be the best package for watching the 2016 Olympics? The American channel coverage of previous summer games has been poor in my opinion. Events are not shown live, events are massively time shifted to put content that the station thinks will be popular in prime time...

    rabbitears for FM

    If I put an “Application ID number (from CDBS database)” into the URL for the Coverage Maps page, I get a Longley-Rice map for that ID number. The Coverage Maps page doesn’t seem to care if I put in a DTV Application ID number or a FM Application ID number. For example, WPOC 93.1 Baltimore...

    Reasonable expectations for multi LNB

    I live in Baldwin MD, 21013. I would like to get 87, 97 and 101 on a single dish, I would be willing to use a 1m dish as that that is the maximum protected by the FCC rules. I want LPB, so the dish would probably need to be pointed at 87. For 101 and 97, I would probably need narrow LNB’s to...

    87W off the side of a DTV slim line dish?

    I have DBS from DTV. The installer put a slim line dish with a SL3 –SWM LNB on the roof. The SL3 sees ku on 101, and ka on 99 and 103. DTV has the SL5 which also gets ku on 110 and 119. That makes me think the slim line reflector can cover a bunch of the arc. So, there is a dish on my roof...

    Where to put modulators?

    I get TV over the air from Baltimore and DC. There are some channels from FTA I would like to modulate to unused channels to send my house. Aside from spacing analog modulator channels every other channel (for double sideband modulators), what rules should be followed to keep my analog...

    Getting started with FTA

    I want to get started with FTA. My uncle gave me a Fortec Star FSIR-5400NA. I would like to get PBJ from AMC 9 and LPB 3 (Create) from AMC 3. I am located in Baldwin MD. I have several questions: How is the Fortec Star FSIR-5400NA as a start for getting FTA? What is a good dish? I have been...
