Just curious what everyone thinks about this TV Fool report? Any chance getting the SF 70-75 miles away?

Sorry but my money is on probably not. All are 1 or 2edge and all flagged with co-channel or adjacent. Many of them pretty much in the same direction, and stronger/closer, than the SF tx.
If there 'is a way' think it would be pretty exotic/expensive.
The previous is my humble opinion only. Someone may have something that's worthwhile trying.

I'm inclined to agree. You have such strong signals right next to you that even if you had the proper outdoor antenna with lots of height, etc., it would be wiped out by the local stations on adjacent channels.

The San Jose signals (KQEH, KICU, KSTS, KDTV) are probably doable for you, but I wouldn't bet on seeing much else.

I can get the Sacramento/Stockton stations from Walnut Grove here in San Francisco using a 10 element yagi for VHF and a CM4228 for UHF. They're up at about 35 feet above the roof, so with an antenna of similar gain you might get the stations from Sutro Tower, Mt. San Bruno and the South Bay from Elk Grove.

I'm just 3/4 mile from Sutro Tower, and the adjacent channels don't seem to cause a problem. I have 34 on Sutro next to 35 (KCRA channel 3) and 45 next to 46 (KQCA channel 58) and they don't seem to bother each other. You will need to use antennas with decent gain and I suspect they'll need to be up at least 35 to 40 feet.

I would go along with what others have said for the UHF channels, you will need to go high and go big to have a chance. The best hope might be for the VHF station KGO. This decent high gain VHF-HI antenna can be had for about $45 shipped http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.as...enna--(Y10713)&c=TV Antennas&sku=716079000994

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.
