Скачать или смотреть DTV DX BANDSCAN: TROPO to PHILADELPHIA

Long distance digital television reception during strong tropospheric enhancement, Sunday morning August 26, 2012. This is a bandscan at about 8:20am at my location in Poughkeepsie, NY with 91-XG antenna, 25 feet above the ground, aimed at Philadelphia, 139 miles distant, less than 30 degrees west of New York City. (Channels 2-13 received on a Winegard YA-1713 VHF-Hi antenna, 21 feet above ground, likewise aimed at Philadelphia). Normally, Philadelphia is out of range, although channel 17 WPHL makes it in quite frequently. I have much closer Albany,NY area stations on ch 12,26,34, and 43. Note that WTXF Fox 29 (on channel 42) was coming through despite a local Poughkeepsie 19kw analog translator on the same channel. WTXF reception was even better if I turned the antenna farther South (away from the translator). WZBN at the end of this clip is actually low power station W50DZ licensed to Trenton, NJ, but transmitting from Philadelphia. And while WPVI-6 Philadelphia did not make it through a strong WRGB from the Albany market,with the VHF-Hi antenna on this bandscan, WPVI was being received excellently separately on a 6-element VHF-Lo antenna closer to the ground.
