If VHF channel 7 doesn't cut it, then why not use the old KWTV channel 39 frequency. When June 12th rolls around and ABC cannot be received by a majority of people who use rabbit ears, then what. This is a situation where the FCC should require a standardized signal output that is within a set percentage of every other station.

In theory, ch 7 would be better than ch 9 because of lower frequency and within the same band, if all else is equal. Something is "different" with KOCO. rickster,

I live near Tinker. For the first time I kept getting "weak signal" for channel 13 but strangely I lost only the sound. this may not mean too much since I have an outdoor antenna, but the signal strength for channel 5 remains at 78.

Maybe KOCO was running more power before the cut. Again, The FCC data base shows them running 48KW ERP now(not very much). It is curious that KWTV is running about the same power and has the same service area map and I get them great on the small UHF loop antenna on my kitchen DTV here in Norman ???? WHY not KOCO ??? The only thing I can imagine is that KOCO is not at their final, ultimate, design configuration ???? And therfore the service area map is not truely representative of today, but rather what it will eventually be, I HOPE !!. By the way---KOCO is the only OKC DTV station I do not get on the small loop UHF antenna in the kitchen. Interesting HUH ??. I did not get them there before the cut either. As I previously mentioned, my small 30 year old Radio Shack VHF/UHF attic antenna gets everthing great. Rickster Dennis
