Bob,
I was referring to the initial Sinclair Baltimore demonstrations during the
summer of 1999 where they invited TV engineers from around the country to
witness for themselves the differences between 8-VSB and COFDM reception.
There was a very good first hand (albeit anecdotal)
You refer to the re-testing of the "transmitter monitor" after the ill-fated
(some say rigged) NAB-MSTV tests.
