NECN/Mt. Wash. connection??

[rjoc@webtv.net (Rod O'Connor)]

After trying several times since Sunday to tune into NECN here on our
Adelphia system, and just getting color bars and tone, it dawned on me
that NECN must have a few relays and hops between Boston and Adelphia's
Bangor Headend. I'm sure one of them is via Mount Washington, which
would explain why I haven't seen NECN since Sunday's fire.

I usually don't watch NECN that often since I don't recall ever seeing
any stories from Central or DownEast Maine. The only thing I do like is
their weather. In addition, the picture quality is often quite poor.
Especially during the summer, the signal fades in and out when tropo
skip gets going. Even on good days the picture quality is rather poor,
very grainy and colors washed out.  Obviously Bangor must be the
northern-most extent of it's reach.

Any readers know more about their distribution and feed routing?
