Ah, but you see you are wrong. There are valid comparisons available. The
Baltimore test sites have not moved. The parking garage at BWI airport
hasn't moved. All of those chosen test sites, real world tests witnessed by
scores if not hundreds of television engineers, have been documented, and
the Baltimore DTV stations are still on the air. All it takes is to bring
the Nth generation receiver out to those sites, or even the FSS (Famous
Schubin Site) and try to duplicate the results witnessed lo those many years
ago.
Better yet, tape a dipole to a stick and just wave it around in your own
living room and see what happens to your own ATSC receiver.
Cheers,
John Shutt
