Could it be an FCC regulation to try to control the clutter?
We already have lots of stations overlapping and interfering with each other, due to the doubling of transmitters for the transition, and the government getting rid of a big part of our TV spectrum.
I've seen problems with:
ch 19 in Boston and Adams Ma
ch 30 in Boston and Hartford
ch 57 in Boston and Springfield
etc, etc. More power would just make the situation worse.
What I'd like to see is not more power but say 2 times the number of TV channel slots, and all broadcast towers required to be on Mountain tops at over 3000 ft elevation. Then we'd all get better tv coverage.
