Burlington VT Channel 22-1 reception

mrrwpvt · 02-22-08, 10:21 AM

I've done my research, but I'm out of ideas. I live 32 miles from Mt Mansfield on a heading of 244 (true) (West Glover). I can receive all the OTA digital signals from Mt Mansfield ok, except Channel 22-1. I get zero from it. I've tried my Radio Shack UHF antenna with a booster and an older VHF/UHF antenna that is higher but without a booster, and still can't pull it in. I did a plot with tvfool.com, and here are the readings:

Call Sign Real (Virt) Network Rx(dbm) My set readings
WVNY-DT 13 22.1 ABC -99.7 31

WPTZ-DT 14 5.1 NBC -101.7 38

WCAX-DT 53 3.1 CBS -103.3 84

WETK-DT 32 33.1 PBS - 106.4 53

WFFF-DT 43 44.1 FOX -112.9 40

I realize all these readings are "fringe", but because their digital, with a few exceptions, I receive a quality picture. Can't get WVNY at all!

I can't get to the higher antenna to install the booster until spring when I can get a bucket truck in to reach it. (fell off a roof once -- never again!)

Does anybody have any insights or suggestions on picking up 22-1 this far out?

This is going to get moved to the HDTV Hardware reception forum. You should provide your zip code, so we can look up your location. You should also check for a VT local thread here.
