Harry, W0OZL 1. The Short-term Analog Flash and Emergency Readiness Act ("Analog Nightlight Act" or "Act")1 requires the Commission to develop and implement a program by January 15, 2009, to "encourage and permit" continued analog TV service after the February 17, 2009 DTV transition date, where technically feasible, for the purpose of providing "public safety information" and "DTV transition information" to viewers who may not obtain the necessary equipment to receive digital broadcasts after the transition date. In this way, the continued analog service would serve like a "nightlight" to unprepared viewers, assuring that these viewers continue to have access to emergency information and guiding them with information to help them make a belated transition. This Notice describes the procedures the Commission intends to follow to implement the Act; the nature of the programming permitted by the Act; and the stations that are eligible to participate in the Analog Nightlight program. Stations that are eligible under the Act to provide nightlight service may choose to provide their own service on their analog channels, or may choose to work with other stations in their community to provide a comprehensive nightlight service on one or more analog channels in that community. Stations that cannot broadcast their own nightlight service can participate in a joint nightlight effort together with other stations in their community by providing financial, technical, or other resources. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JOHN MACKEY" <jmac...@usa.net> To: <Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, December 26, 2008 3:54 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] More 6 meter repeater interference!! > I've had it.
