Heh. Remember that you read it here first.

The question that SHOULD be asked is, what were these people thinking,
anyway? For example, why was WJZ in Balt planning on 9.8 KW, when they
had been 316 KW analog? Anyone bother to do the math? Even worse WBAL,
which dropped to 5 KW. Same applies to both WJLA and WUSA in Washington.
Same applies to ALL of the NYC stations that went back to VHF.

It's really frustrating that this sort of egregiously poor planning was
allowed to go on for years, without a single test until after the
transition was over.

Poppycock! There were tests, such as Ch. 3 digital in Chicago ...
which was a well-known disaster.
