TV DX from Fort Myers, FL (Tropo 2006)

[@radionoakmont2143]

I miss analog tv so much that sweet staticy sound is awesome to hear again.

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

The ststic, the horizontal hold lines running through the picture, the whole signal to noise ratio (Both Aural & Visual)

[@joshm264]

If the DX info centre is correct, then you're having a field day right now!

"That isn't very strong trop-" Jackson, MS "Nevermind..."

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

Especially for a UHF 😁

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

What would've been interesting is if you ever managed to catch some Denver area stations from Florida but that might be quite a feat even for your setup though Also Shannon Ogden now works at ABC affiliate KMGH 7 here in Denver

2006 was also the year I graduated high school.

18:36 Nexstar version of News Matrix.

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

WFTS is owned by Scripps. Always has been Nexstar owns WFLA (But they didn't own it's back then though)

[@PanchamBro2]

I'm still curious: what IS that movie being played on CMG-TV?

[@FloridaTVDX]

I think it's Italian. The song in it is from an Italian artist. (had to chop it way down to avoid content match)

[@PanchamBro2]

@@FloridaTVDX ahhh. so i guess any italian wanna tell me what movie that was i'd love to know.

[@dyter424]

The movie is "Three brothers" (Tre fratelli), from 1981. The song was written by Pino Daniele. (Contains a mild profanity in Neapolitan exactly at 14:19)

[@FRLAZone2018]

did you know tribune made copyrights their dic produced programs like cartoons made by Tex Avery

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

Except Tribune is no more now that it was swallowed by Nexstar

[@shaunfossett]

Why does West Palm Beach come in so badly? Is it because of Lake Okeechobee?

[@dyter424]

Maybe it could have been local-like quality with a real antenna?

[@FloridaTVDX]

A real antenna would've certainly helped, but these were lean years for me financially.

[@atfmdx1373]

6:51 Do you know the station that's ghosting behind WOGX there?

[@FloridaTVDX]

I had a weak local station on 51.

[@friesareyummy]

@@FloridaTVDX WLZE, the repeater of WUVF-LP??

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

It's a Fox O&O of their Orlando station

[@lisaweathers6783]

Do bakersfield California

[@confetti199]

Out of range and DTV will make it really hard to get even PSIP and he can't do it whenever he wants he has to wait for an atmospheric oddity to come

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

California would be a TRIPLE hop in ANY event & you can FORGET ABOUT IT in the DTV (Soon to be NextGen TV) era we live in now

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

THE ONLY thing that he could receive out of California from Florida would be some AM Radio station as such a triple hop would be too far even for FM signals to travel Transcontinental like that

[@patcook-kb0oxdsclassictvsh874]

​​@@confetti199And even then the conditions have to be JUST RIGHT or he won't get a thing That requires A LOT of time monitoring propagation forecasts. Sure, there's software & scientists that will help you do it but sometimes it just takes PLAIN LUCK (And the ability to capture the signal in time & ENOUGH OF the signal to make an audio or video file) before the signal goes away
