      Greetings TOM!                      RW>> Perhaps you didn't know that Ch-10 owns property on top of Mt San        RW>> Miguel        RW>> ... they could have moved there since I left SD or not. Channel 39        RW>> and 51 are located on that mountain. I forget where Ch-15 is        RW>> located, but if they're not located on Miguel, they may still be on        RW>> Mt Soladad...               TW> I don't care aobut where Ch 10 has property and I know whare the Ch        TW> 10 Transmitter tower is              You should, as the station xmitter on that mountain may change at anytime.               TW> and, Mt Soledad along with Ch 8.              I know this.               TW> And it has been there ever since 1951 when I first cale to SDan        TW> Diego when there was only Three TV channels, Ch 6 with their        TW> transmitter located in Mecico              Otay Mesa...               TW> and Ch 8 and 10 on Mt Soledad. It so hapened that the sites        TW> were almost exacticaly 180 degrees form each other so a "San Diego        TW> Special" antanna was used with a zero front to back ratio so both        TW> transmitter sites could be recieved on the same antenna.              I know, I used to live within a mile of it in Clairemont. The fact is that       Ch10 owns property on San Miguel that has a building and a tower on it. It       could be utilized overnight as a new location for them. Channel 8 may move       with them if there lease on Soledad runs out.               RW>> For help in receiving the UHF channels in your area, here is a link        RW>> to a sight that will use your ZIP, physical address and antenna        RW>> height above ground to give you the direction and suggest an antenna        RW>> that will give you reception. They also provide you with each        RW>> channel within range and direction to point your Yagi or LPA TV        RW>> antenna.               RW>> http://www.antennaweb.org/default.aspx               TW> I used that site and since my Zip code, 92021, is in in El Cajon        TW> Valley and I an east of El Cajon with a close High Hill between my        TW> location and the Mount Miguel transmitter site it is Wrothless in        TW> determing what TV stations I can get.              You're welcome anyway.               Have a day!               R\%/itt - K5RXT              --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: HAM Radio, aka Amateur Radio. 804?
