I was picking up Indy stations from 200 miles away. Wttk, and Wrtv 6 it was nice watching channels from that far away using an indoor antenna.

Living in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I was able to receive WJFW-TV (NBC) 12, Rhinelander, Wisconsin and WJMN-TV (CBS) 3, Marquette, Michigan on a few occasions. I could only watch these channels for as long as the signal can hold.


WJMN-TV 3 was a satellite station of my area's WFRV-TV 5, so it is aesthetically similar since both share common logo designs, graphics, and branding, so I am not missing too much.

We had a good opening on May 10th, picked up TV stations from CT, VA, MD. When there's early morning ground fog in our valley that's usually when TV DX occurs here, during rush hour.

Antenna is one of those $26 "150 mile" jobs, mounted about 12 feet above ground.

Last 3 nights I've been receiving WBXX Crossville/ Knoxville TN. Live in N Ga, locals diff at best. Using Channel Master 4 bay UHF w/preamp. Channel will fade in and out. Antenna is mounted 10ft off ground. Actually managed to receive my locals fairly well. The Big 4 are on hi-VHF, but all now I receive between 91-96% and UHF channels beteeen 92-98%..Had to adjust position and "compromise" some on signal strength..once strength drops below 76% it starts pixelating. It is diff to recieve locals here. But I'm stubborn and it's paid off!

I was going to start a new thread but see that I'm a little north of your location (in E. Longmeadow, MA), I'll add to yours. I scanned on Friday, 6/15/18 around 6pm and picked up my normal stations however the TV picked up an analog channel. It was VHF 4. Yes, analog! It had the Big Bang Theory on it. It didn't last long enough for me to see a station ID or see a commercial. I searched online for a LP channel 4 and can't find any. My antenna is a Winegard SS2000 (the amplified model) and is on a south / north orientation. Did you ever pick up any analog channels?

 

[harshness]

It was VHF 4. Yes, analog!

MyTV (WCTX sharing RF10 with WTNH) carries BBT on Friday nights but of course that's a DTV feed. It doesn't appear that WTNH has any translators, much less analog translators.

It could be that you picked up a modulator (in the form of a video recorder or TV tuner box) from a neighbor (or perhaps a housemate) that didn't connect it to their system correctly (modulated output connected to the antenna). If it had been a channel >RF4, I wouldn't be so suspicious.

More likely it was e-skip from Canada where analogs still exist and CTV (who has the most remaining analogs) holds the rights to Big Bang Theory, as far as I can tell.

It's possible that there may have been an RF 4 "broadcast" from a device in adjacent house that was randomly picked up.

I do remember back in the late 1980's channel skipping that occurred during one summer. I remember pulling in TV from Ottawa (Canada). Most of the skipping seemed to come from the northeast as I remember picking up Utica, NY and TV from Detroit. I'm not too far from where I lived back in the 1980's.

Maybe I did get a skip last Friday from Canada, but their locations seem too far off. I see two analog 4's. One is a CTV affiliate from Sydney, Nova Scotia (CJCB) and the other is Kamloops, BC (CFJC).
