That seems correct. Such upgrades are being made, or will be made, in many
locations across the country. Clearly this will help reception in most
locations but in others, the move to higher power levels is predicted to
increase interference. It remains to be seen how significant that might be.
Clearly the quality of receiver used will be a major determining factor (I
believe the Schubin apartment is a prime example). Also, such interference
should subside to some degree after the analog transmitters shut down and
assuming that the frequencies are not re licensed thoughtlessly.

Got a very thorough response from the Engineering Director
at WETA (PBS, Ch 26 analog, Ch 27 digital). They are currently
transmitting from a lower tower, at low power, from a
location to the west of most other local stations, from where
we live. They will move their DTT transmitting antenna to a
higher tower and increase power in the next couple of months,
co-located with two local stations I receive quite well.
So that's the sort of tweaking I would hope to see from all
digital transmission facilities that started out in a less
than ideal configuration. In principle, I should be receiving
17 total stations. Missing in action still are UPN here and
from Baltimore, and one PBS station way out west of where I'm
aiming, in Manassas VA.
