But the proposal included the willingness to reduce ERP, in order to fit
within the FCC planning factors. So to me, the user, it would have meant
either more difficult reception or, more likely, lower spectral
efficiency, as the broadcasters dialed back to a higher FEC or to 16-QAM,
to compensate for the power deficit. (Remember that my "antenna farm" is
at ground level inside the fireplace. I love it being in there.)
I don't recall any reduction in ERP proposed. I do recall you constantly
pounding that broadcasters would have to build larger transmitters in order
to transmit the higher peak to average ratio of COFDM vs. VSB for equal ERP.
