We tested several brands of passive indoor "window" antennae. Our testing
showed that Channel Master makes the best. The testing we did was several years
ago. If anyone knows of a better passive "window" antenna, please let me know.

Not too much to read into that. We, as operators, have the ability to look at
FCC databases and other FCC info, and everyone, including them, can look at
RabbitEars to see what each station is running on its main and digital sub
channels including tech info with a specific readout from all of the data from
contributors with TS Reader.____________________________________________

Craig, why do you say that?

On another note, speaking of rabbit ears.
I was contacted the other day and asked to install this software somehow at the
transmitter site so they can “see” our signal.
Anyone else get this request and what are the pros and cons, if any?
“am trying to update the listing for ———- on RabbitEars and would like to know
if your chief engineer has the ability to get a TSReader capture of the
broadcast signal? IF you don't have the TSReader program, I can get you a FREE
download of the program and provide the steps necessary to use the program for
TSReader captures.”
Honestly surprised the FCC doesn’t require this so they can keep an eye on
everyone from afar.

I will add that, in our case, our projected coverage on rabbitears maps has
proven to be very accurate in real world terms.

This is not accurate. RabbitEars assumes an antenna at 13 feet, not 30 feet.
Additionally, the legend at the top right indicates what each color on the map
might represent in terms of antenna required.

Also the FCC & (rabbitears maps) projected coverage is based on people having
an outside antenna 30 ft in the air!

I was extremely excited to see the map generated to show our station would
reach over 1 million pops. However the map that was generated to show predicted
coverage was not the reality of the people who would be putting up $10 Walmart
indoor antennas. The number was cut in half.

All:
Need some honest, expert advice. In your opinion, how well should an indoor
antenna be able to pick up an LPTV signal.
More specifically: Suppose your house is one mile from the LPTV transmitter.
Let's also suppose you look at the coverage map on Rabbit Ears and your house
where the indoor antenna is smack dab in the green.
Should you be able to pick up the channel relatively easily? Or do LPTV
stations require outdoor antennas as a general rule?
Thanks!
