I love DTV. Probably what I like the most is the way signals from very distant stations can be received over very long distances via tropospheric ducting.

I've received signals from stations 500 miles away. The fun usually begins about 10:00pm each night and ends just after daybreak.

Interesting—someone on a radio board mentioned that.

Years ago I would get some ducting TV reception here north of Boston—stations from Indianapolis or Florida on Ch 2...
the PBS station from the Maine coast would over-ride the Ch 10 (NBC) station from Providence...stations like Ch 41 in
Vermont or Ch 21 NYC/LI would come in, etc.

HOW??????

How do you get those signals? Our freakin’ locals are busted up. We even bought a new 90.00 rooftop antenna!

Same here and also at night. It also depends on the weather condition. If it is clear with low humidity you will get pick up distant signals. Cool stuff.
