One of the bad ones here was the UPN station, Ch 20, because it was
transmitting something like 1.2 KW ERP. About a week after CW took over,
it got much better. I now see as much signal margin from CW20 as I do
from the very best other stations.
Another was the local PBS, WETA-DT. They relocated the antenna to the
same tower as Ch 7 and Ch 9, although still at relatively low power, on
a channel adjacent to their strong analog transmitter, they have gotten
much more reliable.
The third problem was WHUT-DT. I don't even know that they are
transmitting yet. From Howard University.
