PROBLEMS!!!

 I am wondering if this is a topographical thing or what?  Any comments about your viewing of the game or other Madison stations last night would be appreciated.

 I had problems with NBC 15 from about 9:15 on, very low signal.  When I checked the other Madison channels all were fine except WB 57 which also had low signal. I always think of tropo conditions helping me get more stations but I guess it could hinder reception just as well. I also noticed my cable stations(charter) out of Milw. looked pretty bad last night...especially WISN 12...probably all related.
Scoping out the other channels was more fun then watching that packer game...keep blitzin' Bob...it's bound to work sooner or later...-s-

Just checked Fox 47 as well as all the other Madison dtv signals and they are all clear as of noon today. As an aside that antenna carries 4 stations analog and digital signals, ABC, CBS, Fox and Pbs. I think NBC 15 and WB 57 share another tower.

You're correct, there are only two tall towers left in Madison.  WMTV (15/digital 19) and WBUW (57/digital 32) are on the same tower, about 3 miles east of the "Community Tower" with all the other stations.  It's interesting that both 15-1 and 57-1 faded out at the same time.
