Bob, you can prattle and you can whine and try to confuse people who weren't
around years ago.
YOU are one of the people who never had the nerve -- and had the chance --
to try ofdm reception at Mark's apartment. You also said that you did try
to receive the signal on the street in front of his apartment.
Why, after trying to get it there, didn't you call on Mark?
As to your new assertions, you had the chance before. You want a different
and better chance now.

P.S. I take more than a bit of umbrage about you calling my recitation of
facts admitted by you to be bullshit. I am an engineer, Bob. I deal in
real data, not wishful thinking. You are a proponent and are not an
engineer.

Utter BS! No one has had the chance of putting a COFDM signal on
Mark's apartment. We could broadcast with a 100 Watt transmitter
toward Midtown but there was no way to get a decent signal north of
there do to Midtown. But Mark is in the shadow of the Empire State
Building where 8-VSB has ERP's near a MegaWatt.
Let me have a 100 Watt transmitter on the Empire State Building and I
will show COFDM reception over most if not all the city including
Mark's apartment. Not afraid of ever going head to head with 8-VSB.
8-VSB on the other hand has been terrified of ever getting in a fair
test with COFDM in the US or Canada.
