JULY 2012

Welcome to the Mailbox for July. This issue Renewals were received from the period of is being prepared at the very end of June. I 5/23 through 6/20 from Eric Bueneman, Mike have already received two emails and one Hunter, Jay Novello, Richard Allen, James phone call wondering what happened to the Montgomery, Jerry Bond, Sheryl VUD. Paskiewicz, Rod O’Connor, Dan The VUD is late, and will probably continue Oglethorpe, Nick Langan, William Lindsay, to be late every so often. I can tell you that the John Ebeling and Paul Swearingen. Thank August VUD may very well be late because we you all for supporting the club. (wife and I) will be out of the country in much of the last half of August on a vacation we deeply deserve after our ordeal of the past twelve months. I’ve asked before if someone could come along and volunteer to publish the VUD. It’s easier now because all but about 70 people receive it in .pdf form now. All you need is MS Word and one of many programs that will convert Word documents to .pdf files. As far as paper VUDs go, just take one of the .pdfs to your neighborhood printer and have him make you some 6x9 booklets. I will give you all of my graphics, software and all you need. But to date nobody has come forward. So, at this point, I’m afraid that you get what you get. I want our paper VUD readers to know that at some point the paper VUD will end. I hope THE SKIP SEASON THUS FAR you understand that. If someone comes forward as publisher, he will make that decision My one good TV logging so far this season unless I find that I need to stop sooner. is Managua, NIC on ch2 back on 6/12 at 4 in It has been a year since we began to phase the afternoon. I recorded the video and put it out the printed VUD. This is the situation as of on YouTube. You can find it on the WTFDA now. I’m sorry for any inconvenience but it is Forums in the analog TV DX section. what it is. Bill Hepburn has posted two or three pictures of Mexican/CA double hop on the MEMBERS AND MORE email list and we have three of them in this VUD. Here’s just a couple of quick stats. So far in Also back on 6/12 Chris Lucas in 2012 we’ve had two new members and one Poughkeepsie, NY logged KENW 89.5 in rejoin. Portales, NM via double hop. Audio is on the Forums. And that’s all I have space for. See you all next month. -Mike

From: "Robert Meuser"

I have had involvement in one way or another with the DTV transition over the last 16 years. Unfortunately at the time of the NTSC shutdown OTA was not fully ready for prime time. The early tuner chips did not handle multipath well and because of this we did not really have the tools to learn the old fashioned NTSC antenna would not be the proper approach for DTV reception.

Two things happened over time. The first was the drastic improvement in the tuner chip sets. The primary advantage is that they take advantage of multipath rather than deal with it as a detriment. This opens the door to the use of fractal and other omnidirectional types of antenna. I keep hearing stories of people who have difficulties with the old highly directional antenna on a tower with a rotator. This is not how to receive DTV. Those who need height and gain are better served with a vertical stack of a bowtie antenna. This works if the desired stations are in the same general direction. If they are not, an omni may work. I do not know the best solution for a non engineering type living in a fringe area where are in all directions.

My own experiments over the years have resulted in the following results: Early generation DTV set and a Terk so called 'digital' rabbit ear with small UHF log antenna, no usable reception either analog or digital. The same Terk antenna and a newer generation Eye TV tuner for my Mac was awkward to aim and use but much better than the TV.

The newest tuner is part of a Tivo. It was even better but the rabbit ears still posed problems.

A $29 fractal antenna off the shelf at a local electronics dealer gave much better but still annoying results with the TV.

The eye TV was much improved and useable but the Tivo (newest tuner chip set) produced nearly flawless results.

With NTSC, I was never able to receive any over the air but with a modern 'digital' indoor antenna and a recent tuner chipset there are more programs recorded than there is time to watch including WKRP on antenna TV.

I know a lot of people with absolutely no connection to or understanding of broadcasting who have discovered the fractal antenna and dropped cable. I also know two senior engineers for one of the largest TV broadcast groups who in addition to cable have some off air secondary sets in their homes. Surveys show that in multi-set homes OTA is common on secondary sets. It is unfortunate that there is no campaign to more widely promote OTA.

NEWS ITEM: Florida Tightens Rules on Scrap Metal Sales It’s about to get harder to unload a stolen piece of transmission line in Florida. Copper theft has been an increasing problem for broadcasters, builders, power companies and other industries that use the metal, particularly at remote, unattended sites. Florida is now tightening regulations on scrap metal dealers, which should make it harder for thieves to unload stolen copper, aluminum and other metals. New rules that go into effect July 1 make stealing copper from a utility or communications services provider a first-degree felony, which could net a thief a 30-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine. The law also makes knowingly purchasing stolen metals a third-degree felony, which could mean five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. The change likely to have the biggest influence on copper theft is the banning of cash payments for scrap metal. Under the new rules, all payments must be made by check or an electronic payment system, and payment may be delayed by up to three days. Regulations on scrap-metal buying are also tightened and pre-empt any municipal or county rules. All scrap-metal dealers will have to be registered with the state, and dealers will be required to keep better records of all purchases, including photographs of the material bought. If they purchase an item with a serial number on it, the dealer will have to check a state database to make sure the item has not been reported stolen. In addition, the new law waives civil liability for property owners if someone is injured or killed while trying to steal copper or other regulated materials. Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed the bill into law at the end of April.

The Editor’s Note

We try to usually keep a positive spin here at C2CTVDX, but many DXers would have not particularly rosy depictions of the 2012 E-Skip season thus far. As usual, opinions differ from locale to locale. Much of the west coast is 0-for-the season. The plains and New England states have not seen much activity. Some in the Great Lakes, meanwhile, would argue that the season has been respectable. All that said, a good July would erase many of the frustrations the season has produced. Let’s cross our fingers for a fun second half.

That now makes it three stations on RF channel 17 within 150 miles of my December 2011 QTH (the other ones being KMIZ Columbia, MO 29 Es 1842 XEWO 2 JAL 793 and WTCT Marion, IL). I did get much-wanted WFYI 21 (20), but WKAR 40 (23) and WWHO 46 January 2012 (53) were big surprises. December 13’s opening 21 Es 1427 XHQ 2 SIN “3” logo 830 brought mainly southern Illinois and southwest XHQ 3 SIN same 813 Indiana, but I did pull in WKRN 27 (2). The tropo 1620 XHHSS 4 SON ID upper right 945 opening of March 22-23 allowed me to log a call 1650 XHHMAt 2 SON Galavision change on 13 (49) in Springfield, IL, changing to 22 Es 1639 XHTAA 2 CH “10” logo UL 1027 WCIX from their longtime call of WCFN. I was also able to get a few video captures from KYOU 15. February 2012 The big surprise of that opening was a relog of 22 Es 1822 YNFA302 2 NIC logo on mic 1335 KCRG 9. E-skip season began on May 5 with a Tr 2053 XERV 9 TAM 295 relog of XHTAU. The May 13 tropo opening brought XHREY 12 TAM 295 another call change, this time for KOZL 28 (27), 2112 WVUE 29 LA 323 dumping the KSFX calls when it dumped Fox. 2139 WEAR 17 FL 469 When I was younger, this was KMTC, and later, 2148 WKRG 27 AL 458 KDEB. The opening of May 29 brought another new Canadian (CBOT6 on analog channel 3); when March 2012 I swung the antenna to the west, I pulled in CBKT7. 22 Tr 2158 WRBJ 34 MS 362 I also had two Global affiliates on that night; the 2204 KLAX 31 LA 207 ones in Bancroft, ON and Minnedosa, MB. May 30 23 Tr 0656 WMAU 18 MS 303 had both a short trop opening into southern Illinois and an E-skip opening into Mexico. The opening of April 2012 May 31 brought E-skip from both Canada and 25 Tr 1955 WVUE 29 LA 323 Mexico. The June 4 opening was all Mexicans. The 2215 WEAR 17 FL 469 June 7 opening brought some new Canadians, WMAU 18 MS 303 including two CBC French stations from New 2226 WNTZ 49 MS 257 Brunswick, along with a CTV. That particular 2241 WKRG 27 AL 458 opening well into the FM band. June 9 2301 WFNA 25 AL June Photo brought two new CBC stations, CJBR in French News 455 and CBAT4 in English. CJBR was airing a movie, 26 Tr 0656 KTVE 27 AR 298 while CBAT4 aired Game 5 of the Stanley Cup 2200 same stations as last night Finals. I’m glad I had this opportunity to log some 28 Tr 0043 KTXA 29 TX 224 new CBC stations in analog before they all go KERA 14 TX 226 digital! As of June 10, 2012, I have 563 analog and 143 digital TV stations in my logbook.

November 24’s tropo opening brought a call change on 93.1 in Indianapolis (actually, the calls and programming moved from AM 1070). It was also the last time I heard WLFM-LP…I hope to hear them later this summer as WKQX-LP. The opening of December 13-14 brought in stations from western KY, northwest and middle TN. When I was hearing WTJJ 94.3 during this opening, I was also able to hear WTJS 1390 on my AM receiver. I was pleasantly surprised to hear WJCR 90.1 in that opening; I last heard them on shortwave back in the 1990s. On January 28, I purchased a Harman/Kardon TU920 AM/FM tuner from fellow DXer Walt Breville, and broke it in with a tropo opening on Valentine’s Day. The opening on March 23-24 allowed me to pull in WYMG 100.5 from its new of Chatham (south of Springfield); it had been licensed to Jacksonville. One new NOAA Weather Radio station was added when I heard WXN85 came through on 162.400 MHz with conditions for Iowa, Missouri and Illinois and legal ID, programmed from the National Weather Service office in Davenport, IA. The E-skip season kicked off on May 5 with a new log: XHMU 90.1 coming in over XHRYS. That same evening, I noted the new WMSH 90.3 from Sparta; they’re Catholic, simulcasting WOLG 95.9 Carlinville. The E-skip opening on May 30 allowed me to add WARO 94.5; I heard it on 94.4 due to digital sidebands from KSHE 94.7. My FL count was fattened on the opening of June 2. The opening of June 7 brought in two new FMs from ME and four new ones from NB. The FM count as of June 9 is 1,161, with the NOAA Weather Radio log now at 101. 73.

43 High Noon for Diller’s Aereo Wall Street Journal 5-25-12 Christopher S. Stewart and Merissa Marr Submitted by David Mackes

When Barry Diller backed a start-up that streams local broadcast signals over the internet, it looked like another unorthodox move by a famously offbeat mogul. Now that start-up has become a grenade that is threatening to wound the television industry. Major TV networks’ legal efforts to shut down the service, called Aereo, will be tested in federal court next week. Lawyers not involved in the case say the company has a decent argument, based on legal precedents set in prior media industry lawsuits.

The TV industry is closely watching how the case plays out, particularly because Aereo doesn’t share any of the fees it collects with broadcasters, who claim copyright infringement. So, as Time Warner Cable, Inc. Chief Executive Glenn Britt hinted recently, a victory in court by Aereo could embolden cable and satellite-TV operators to stop paying fees to carry broadcast networks’ signal. That revenue has become increasingly vital to broadcasters over the past couple of years, offsetting weak growth in advertising.

For the 70-year-old Mr. Diller, who made his name rebelling against conventional practice in television, the havoc that could be wreaked by Aereo is unavoidable. “Nothing gets created unless it disrupts something,” he said…” Aereo launched its service in March, charging $12 a month to stream the local broadcast signals of TV stations via the Web to consumers’ iPads or computers. It is currently available only in New York City, where several thousand residents subscribe. It could expand by the end of the year to more than 100 cities. Unless, that is, the federal court in New York grants broadcasters’ request for a preliminary injunction at hearings on Wednesday and Thursday. The litigation is “going to be a great and important contest.” Says Mr. Diller. Grandly, he describes Aereo as an attack on the “closed system” of mainstream television.

Broadcasters have a different view. “You can’t take our signal. You just can’t,” CBS Corp. Chief Executive Les Moonves said last week. “He is stealing the broadcast programming,” said another executive. “Is he going to pay his writers and producers or get them to work for free?”

In February, Mr. Diller’s IAC led a group of investors in a $20.5 million round of funding, imagining what he calls an “alternative system.” He believed it could exist alongside the current television ecosystem, but major broadcasters NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and a unit of Inc. filed two lawsuits before it launched. The lawsuits argue that Aereo violates copyright law at least in part because it reformats and re-transmits the networks’ TV signals and then charges a fee for it – without getting consent of the broadcasters.

Aereo claims it is simply transmitting broadcast TV signals to customers and allowing them to record programming, arguing that each user is essentially renting a dime-sized antenna. Aereo locates the antennas –tens of thousands of them—in a converted warehouse in downtown Brooklyn. One suit says Aereo’s contention that it is retning antennae to consumers who are dong the rebroadcasting is a “fiction.”

“No amount of technological gimmickry by Aereo – or claims that it is simply providing a set of sophisticated “rabbit ears” changes the fundamental principle of copyright law that those who wish to retransmit Plaintiffs’ broadcasts and may do so only with Plaintiffs’ authority,” broadcasters say in filings. And if Aereo gets shut down? “If the court says you can’t do it, it’s over.” Mr. Diller said. “There’s no Plan B.”

And later, on May 31st…

News Corp.'s Fox and other broadcasters went to court on Wednesday to try to pull the plug on a start-up that takes live TV programming and sends it to mobile devices in New York for a monthly fee. If granted, a preliminary injunction sought by the plaintiffs would devastate Aereo, the company's chief executive told a judge at a hearing in federal court in Manhattan.Extended litigation "would be the end of the company," Chaitanya Kanojia said.

Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Alison Nathan in New York dismissed a separate claim of unfair competition, saying it was preempted by the Copyright Act.

No immediate ruling was expected on the motion for an injunction in the copyright case.

44 Ultra HD marks dawning of 'new age' for TV

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has recommended a new standard for 'Ultra High Definition Television' (UHDTV), heralding what it claims is an "earth-shaking development" for television viewing.

Last week, the global regulatory body announced the new standard, developed in collaboration with experts from the TV industry, broadcasters and regulatory institutions in its Study Group 6.

Following the shift from standard to high definition TV, the next evolution in picture technology is thought by many to be UHDTV, capable of delivering a picture up to 16 times sharper than normal HD.

The ITU has recommended a new UHDTV standard that sets the first level of pictures at the so- called '4K', with the equivalent of 8 megapixels and a pixel resolution of 3840 x 2160.

The next level would be '8K', delivering the equivalent of about 32 megapixels at a screen resolution of 7680 x 4320. Despite the massive difference in signal quality, the ITU has decided to include both levels in the new standard.

The latter 8K level will be used by the BBC on three big screens in the UK for the London Olympics this summer, using a system known as Super Hi-Vision.

In a statement, the ITU said that its new UHDTV standard has now been submitted to administrations for approval.

Alongside being significantly sharper than HD (which has the equivalent of 1 to 2 megapixels), "[UHDTV picture quality] is accompanied by improved color fidelity, and options for higher numbers of pictures per second than for today's television systems," said the ITU.

ITU secretary-general Hamadoun Touré praised the work of ITU-R Study Group 6, and described UHDTV as an "earth-shaking development in the world of television".

"Watching UHDTV in the near future will be a breathtaking experience, and I look forward to it," Dr Touré said.

Virgin to offer Eurosport's live 3D French Open coverage

David Wood, the chairman of ITU-R Working Party 6C, declared: "This is the dawn of a new age for television that will bring unprecedented levels of realism and viewer enjoyment. It's a historic moment.

"Some years will pass before we see these systems in our homes, but come they will. The die is now cast, thanks to the untiring efforts of the international experts participating in WP6C."

François Rancy, the director of ITU's Radiocommunication Bureau, said: "I've personally seen the pictures with 8K UHDTV system, and it's absolutely stunning - the sense of being there is superb. This agreement shows the great and continuing strength of the ITU-R and Study Group 6."

The BBC has said that ultra high definition could be a "better long-term prospect" than 3D, but this would depend on bringing down the currently-massive cost of producing sets that can handle the signal, along with the heavy bandwidth requirements of the broadcasts.

Japanese broadcaster NHK, which will run the Super Hi-Vision trials at the Olympics with the BBC, expects to offer Super Hi-Vision to homes in Japan by 2022.

(June 20)This morning I was on the telephone with the Key West Chamber of Commerce, as well as the office for Comcast, the provider for Key West. The question posed to both offices was....does WSBS actually have a terrestrial signal that can be received with an antenna locally (Key West). Everyone in the Chamber office was consulted, however they could not arrive at an answer to the question. The representatives at the Comcast office were worthless, as they don't 'know' how they receive the WSBS signal. They said it is in their channel lineup.

Attempts to connect with the telephone number in Miami for WSBS went unanswered. The WSBS website actually takes you to the Mega Television website, which is the network for several affiliates.

On a side note from the Chamber rep that I spoke with...she said that cable/satellite television penetration on the Keys is almost 100%. Otherwise, viewers would have very little to watch. Little is known about using a television antenna there, from her opinion.

At this point, the question is still unanswered and at large......

(June 21) The final nail in the elusive coffin (or should that be question mark) to the elusive WSBS signal....?

I received an email today from the president of the Key West Amateur Radio Club. At my request, he asked his members to check on the status of WSBS and the existence of an over-the-air signal. One cannot be found, at least by a few of the members, that have a tv antenna. It appears that 99% of the residents of Key West use Dish, DirecTV, Comcast, or u-Verse for television. There is hardly anyone there that even uses an antenna.

The big question remains....does WSBS even use a terrestrial signal? I wonder if someone would find one if a Dxpedition were charted to the island.
