[Scan-DC] WETA reception issues

[mrhodes at cavellmertz.com]

WETA is operating on their new RF Ch 31 from the WETA-FM tower on 19th Rd in Arlington with a direction antenna pointed northeast.  It is a much shorter tower than their main site.

When they finish the work on the combiner (with WHUT) at the main site they will be at a full 1,000 kW (much better than their previous 73 kW on RF Ch 27.)
