[NLRS] 6m and up noise

[S. Earl Jarosh]

Al,

I am confused by what the station engineer told you.  There must be another
issue with your Channel 3 as all HDTV transmissions are in the UHF band even
though they are keeping the Channel 3 identification.  If you put a Spectrum
Analyzer on the 6.5 MHz bandwidth for your channel 3 it should show multiple
spot peaks in that bandwidth for traditional analogue TV.  The Digital
signal shows an entire 6.5 MHz square block of energy.  The plan was to move
everything to the UHF band and reclaim the VHF LO/HI for eventual
reallocation to new services.

Brad,
   I live in Rapid City SD and every since our local channel 3
television went to High Definition transmissions the six meter band is
just about useless. The new service is on channel 2 and it bleads all
over the place. While driving around town the 6 meter mobile interfering
digital signals will vary from almost nothing to sometimes 30 over s9. I
have talked to a local television engineer who is also a ham and he says
nothing can be done about it legally. Apparently when government in all
their wisdom decided hi-def was the new Jesus baby all other services
became secondary as far as interference goes. The hi-def service is
legally immune to interference complaints as far as anyone knows. If
this is your interference source I can understand your power companys
position..
