Interestingly, we've noticed several times this summer
that when
we have enhanced conditions on VHF, we can't see some of the TV
stations out of Sioux Falls. For example, we have no reception of
KSFY,
physical channel 13, with a reported power of 22.7 kW ERP
with an antenna
1952'AGL. The tower is 26.7 miles from us (line
of sight, given it's height),
but we lose reception of the
station whenever we have tropo enhancement.
Interesting. Perhaps the antenna is above the duct cutting it off for you.
Rovers, drive safe in this weekends contest, have fun, and everyone send in a log.
