[PVRCNC] Antenna changeout at 2000'

[Andy Peterson NI4S]

Many of the DTV stations are switching their RF frequencies on Feb 17.  Some
are switching back to their "native" channel numbers.  Others are choosing
other slots.

Check out www.antennaweb.org to see the new/old assignments and swaps.
Lotsa folks will probably need to do channel scans etc to recognize the new
RF assignments.

I'm curious if the transmitters themselves are agile enough to make the
change, or whether a lot of TX gear is being changed out as well to
accomodate this.
