I thought I read that there was a change to a more elliptical polarized pattern on WVTV a while back... I haven't been able to get it reliably since then. I think around the same time they dropped the TX power. So maybe it's one or the other. Just curious what others have observed, especially those a little farther from town.
Thanks.

Power actually went up after switching from our 240kw backup transmitter. The main transmitter and new antenna is now 745kw horizontal & 499kw vertical (elliptical antenna). The original proposed 1000kw needed to be lowered due to tower constraints. The larger (and heavier) antenna required for 1000kw would have presented a problem with our current space on the tower. It is what it is.
Jimboy thanks for the details. I guess I forgot WCGV was 38m higher too. I also didn't realize how many tenants were on that tower (page 16). WOW.
