Friday night was one heck of a night for DX'ing. Channel 32 from Appleton came in fine, WBAY DT 23 from Green Bay was comeing in at 60. Channel 29 from Indiana was coming in too. Anyone else notice this?

Must be nice...
I can not get FOX at all. In another thread there was talk of a very low power signal from WITI. So low in fact that a viewer in the heart of Wauwatosa can't get anything at all.
I just had my roof done and was trying to decide if I should put an antenna up mounted to my chimney while all the tall ladders were here. I decided against it for two reasons:
1.The WAF (wife acceptance factor). She said she didn't really mind but I could sense tension in her voice. I am not too keen on an antenna on my roof as well.
2. After all the stations are full power on the air, will I really need it to bring in stations? Probably not.

After reading that some of you guys are getting FOX as well as other cities locals, I am starting to regret this decision a little.

Ironic isn't it, Tom, that I can watch Green Bay digital, a analog from Indiana and can't get Fox 6's mighty midget. Maybe we should hold a bake sale to buy them a linear amp. http://www.milwaukeehdtv.org/ubb/smile.gif

Down here in Racine I was receiving high quality HD signals from two stations in South Bend, Indiana. And, on my aircraft scanner, I was listening to the control tower at O'hare Field - 55 miles south of me. Obviously, the atmosphere was in an unusual mode.
