Al,I believe your testing in DC, because I've seen it here in Lansing with ATSC.
However, I will stand by what I said, in that I find it almost impossible to have a null on the pilot that is -114 db, yet have that signal recoverable a few feet away.
What you described is a pilot that was maybe -80, dB and recoverable a couple of hundred yards away. Any WSD with sensitivity for pilot down to -114 dB would have still detected a carrier, even if you couldn't see it on an HP Spectrum Analyzer.

One could drive a hundred yards or so from good reception to abysmalreception. The transmission antenna heights are pretty low for some DC areastations, and the terrain is pretty much hill and dale.
