George,
He is correct in that statement. There are exemptions for low power
translators. That was one of the reasons I put that big disclaimer in my
mapping tool. If you go here you can read about these special cases
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/faqs/dtv-tvtx.html. If there will be these situations
in your area the tool I sent out does not have the old analog contours
loaded in.
Thank You,
Brian Webster

Subject: [WISPA] DTV transition..... FACT or FICTION?
I was talking to one of the tv stations engineers out here on the coast.
He has a translator here.
I asked him how soon would we be seeing the DTV conversion.
His answer is, not any time soon and we must have mis understood the
situation.
Translators are EXEMPT from having to go digital, and to boot, he said,
out of 8,000 broadcasters nation wide, only 25% or so HAVE to convert,
all the others, on translators, don't have to.
Anyone else hear this or know differently?
George
