[opendtv] Re: Reception range

The FCC data should reflect 550kW ERP, directional to the south to protect PA allocations.

The surprise was one of Mark Aiken's stations. WBFF-DT, operating on a
temporary authority at 46.6 KW ERP, or so the FCC says (as of 13 July
2006), 1223' antenna HAAT, comes in solid. The Hata model claims I
should see about -80.3 dBm at the receiver. Even free space loss would
result in -64.7 dBm. So this should be a pretty weak signal, yet it
beats WBAL, for some reason. And this is determined over the long haul.
Same behavior consistently, since Christmas 2005. Is the FCC wrong about
the STA?
