WBIN-TV and their LP's: Confusion as to their locations

[John Bolduc]

That does not explain to me why that when I parked 150 yards away from the studio on A Street in Derry, about a week ago now, I did a from scratch scan of Analog and Digital channels from scratch and came up with RF35 for WBIN and RF9 for Manchester and  "some" of the Boston and Fort Mountain / Saddleback signals, but none on RF3, RF4, and RF7.   I even forced the DTV receiver to RF3, RF4 and RF7 to see if there was any signal on the signal strength meter, it came up with an occasional single bar winking at me, probably local RFI.

This does not clear up my confusion that when I returned home to Londonderry at a location nearer to Nashua/Hudson I was getting a signal equivelant on RF3 to RF35.

I figured that when I was 150 yards away from the A Street studios in Derry, perhaps I was "under the signal pattern, doubtful but possible. I went up on the Walmart Hill at their new location, still no luck, but got a few more station out of Boston and Worcester.
 
I've seen the pattern maps for the STA's, but I'm going to have to revisit A Street in Derry again tonight to do a reality check.

>I'm the Chief Engineer of WBIN-TV as well as the other four LP's mentioned earlier.   While WYCN-LP ch13 (analog) is licensed to and is located in Nashua, the other three LPTV TX's are in fact transmitting from the STA-licensed location which is Derry, NH.  Always have been since the turn-on on December 28th.  Brand new Larcan 8VSB transmitters, static PSIP for each, etc, etc.
