Thanks for the FCC link--change the station name and you will get the coverage map for the station.

Has anyone on this list built / put into practice a Gray-Hoverman panel antenna? How do they perform? Is it worth building one? Double or single? http://www.casano.com/projects/hoverman/index.html I'm about 70 miles from my target DTV market. (Pittsburgh, PA) NOBODY here can seem to get the Pittsburgh ABC affiliate with their current V/U antenna setups. (WTAE4) I have some people that I am helping get their converter boxes hooked up and working. They are VERY disappointed that they won't be able get their news from channel 4 once DTV has gone into full effect. (They DO have one of the areas BEST news teams - in my opinion.) I'm wondering if a dedicated UHF panel and good UHF only preamp will help the situation. I can get MOST of the other Pittsburgh DTV stations, but WATE's signal just doesn't make it. If you look at their coverage map they are loosing QUITE a bit of territory. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/images/callsigns/WTAE.gif Sure would be nice to get it. Just looking for ideas and comments. Scott Scott Zimmerman Amateur Radio Call N3XCC 474 Barnett Rd Boswell, PA 15531
