              ***** IMPORTANT NOTE *****

  Because of the USA switching their TV signals to digital from analog
I have now dropped my frequency to Channel 4 at 67.25 MHz and now am getting
very slightly more results but not as good as when the US stations were on.
I must be hearing only Canadian TV stations that are still using  
analogue signals
till about 2011.

Clear skies
