Yeah you get a bunch of snow there. See, here in Oklahoma we haven't seen any snow in 4 years! So I am not worried about that very much. No, I didn't get the 91XG yet. I am just as curious as you. Well they took the money out of my account yesterday, and it is supposed to come via FedEx. I haven't gotten a tracking number or anything, so there's no telling on the status. As I know my luck, I probably won't get to install this weekend.Rick0725 said:did you receive the 91xg yet.
very interested to know how it works. I am also interested in one also.
what was holding me back was the unknown of how it performed. And I read that snowload is not good with it because of all the elements. And we get a lot of snow here off of lake ontario.
Is it possible that it's beamed away from you? Here's an interesting link that someone else gave me (RandallA, I think) that also gives the broadcast pattern for each station. See what it tells you for KOKI...ralfyguy said:...How can the broadcast antenna, that is higher up than the other, pumping out 130KW more power, be a worse signal source at my end, than the weaker version with higher signal here....
Hmm - not sure why it didn't work for you. I used the top link in that cover page to get approx. lat/long. for central Oklahoma and used 35.53 and -97.56 respectively. I entered -2 for the declination (the second link will get you the exact value) and 150 miles for the range and clicked "Show Stations". The result was a list over 40 rows long (each variation of a station is a separate row). There are 2 rows for KOKI Fox 23DT (actual ch. 22) from Tulsa. Apparently they have 2 separate ant. locations, one operating at 4KW (lobe to the west) and one at 1000KW (omni). It might be possible that they're experimenting or using the low-power antenna temporarily. The 1000KW ant. at 1312'. is indeed on the same tower as the KTFO ant. (900KW, omni, 1232'. Here's the link to that query that I bookmarked - maybe it will work for you. You could fine-tune the results with an exact lat./long/ and declination. Have a good weekend...ralfyguy said:That thing doesn't work. It won't show anything
I know, but I wish it would be like that around the clock!dlsnyder said:Back in 1983 I was on a road trip that took me through central Oklahoma. Having done some TV-FM DXing over the years I always enjoy doing some radio scanning when I am in an unfamiliar area. Anyway, while I was tuning around the FM band I found a station that held my interest, and when they did the station ID they said it was in Florida! I tuned around a little more and found others in FLA and some in Texas. You folks out there in Oklahoma are really blessed with some awesome tropo!
