Title: WMTV testing new antenna/transmitter! Post by: FreeTV on March 31, 2010, 07:51 pm WMTV is testing our new antenna and transmitter today, through prime time tonight (Wednesday 3/31). Signal reports appreciated.
Back to low power tomorrow so the tower crew can de-rig the tower. Title: Re: WMTV testing new antenna/transmitter! Post by: Webmaster on March 31, 2010, 11:43 pm Sorry I was not home today to test it out. Will it be up tomorrow?
Title: Re: WMTV testing new antenna/transmitter! Post by: Jam Pro on April 02, 2010, 03:16 pm Sorry, none of my favorite prime-time network shows aired that night. But I did see the 5, 6 and 10PM news, which looked great here at High Point and Watts.
Right now I'm seeing ~86 signal strength, with a good solid SNR of 27 dB. RS uncorrected is <900 over a ten minute period. That's a great improvement! BTW, my antenna is a simple 6" loop lying horizontal on a shelf. Hope this helps! Title: Re: WMTV testing new antenna/transmitter! Post by: FreeTV on April 09, 2010, 11:09 pm As of April 8th we are officially on the new antenna at the new high power level. Our top-mount antenna is the first circularly polarized DTV antenna in the Madison market which should greatly help reception on indoor antennas. Thanks for the signal reports.
