Hi:
I've been hopping between Ch. 6 Digital TV as there are 3 of them 2 in New Brunswick at 1.7 and 1.86 kW ERP and
2 in my province in the same location about 150 miles away, one is digital at 2.87 kW ERp and the other analogue at 100.0 kW ERP.
Anyway, I been monitoring 82.309 MHz and 82.310 MHz the latter being a bit better, these are what I heard
today. Also I bought a new Icom R-20 receiver and still need to use the notch filter.
An interesting thing is with my old R10 I heard underdense sounds like the "WHOMPPP" with the R20 I hear
a tuning musical like ping.
My info and results:
