As I get everybody but 4 in Port Townsend - great

Looks like they weren't doing any work yesterday

Don't know what the deal is....I get all the Seattle stations great, except for 5. It's a lower signal level here than anything else, so when it's windy, the signal drops in and out - and I periodically lose the signal. It's for both 5.1 and 5.2. And, I'm damn near a water path to Queen Anne. 7 and 4 are almost full strength.

Maybe they aren't up to full power yet?

Whatever.....

Those water paths can do strange things to television signals. The old Charter Cable in Port Orchard had all sorts of nasty problems receiving from Queen Anne despite a straight water shot from a hilltop. A lot of it was related to fog. To get under it they put a separate receive antenna down near the water level and back fed it up the cable. It made a huge difference. I also wonder where 5 is frequency-wise compared to 4 and 7 now that they are on UHF.

I wouldn't know if it' same over there, but I've had to rescan a few times. Seems the stations are switching frequencies.
PBS just announced they're bouncing again 1 Feb.
I get Idaho & Spokane PBS here over the air.
