Is WTTE Transmitting full power???

[diamatron]

I just wanted to know if I should make antenna changes on my end, or if i should wait. If they are full-power then I need to do something. If not, then I can wait for them becaue I pick all other Stations.

They are at full power, but due to the direction of the transmitter people north have break ups

Wow. If this is full power, I guess I don't have anything to look forward to. Do you, by any chance, know when they went to full power?

Any chance they'll shift the direction of their transmitter so us viewers up north can get a lock on their signal? They're the only station I have trouble getting.

Thanks!

I started snooping around the FCC website, and I don't believe WTTE-DT is transmitting at full power, yet.

However, I still wanted to try to pull the station in, so I replaced my CM Spartan preamp with a Winegard 8275. The Winegard is the most powerful preamp I could find on the market. It's so powerful that I had to remove the distribution amp from my loop because it was being overloaded with the signal from the Winegard. Without the distribution amp, I receive a solid signal on all stations -- even WWHO-DT (which used to be VERY hit and miss). And this is with the signal from the preamp being split to feed 16 outlets in my house. To contrast, the CM Spartan preamp needed the distribution amp in order to get enough signal to all of the 16 cable runs I have. Like I said, the Winegard 8275 is very powerful :-)

wtte has been at full power for quite some time.

they did have a rather long running sta permit, but that has been long expired

My mistake. Thanks for the clarification.
