[TriLUG] OT: DTV transition and new ATSC frequencies

[Neil L. Little]

I live over here in deepest darkest Harnett county (near Fuquay Varina).
My tv antenna is a home built one using a 1x4 and some coat hanger wire.
Its leaning against the wall behind the TV.

After the transition to analog I actually picked up two more stations 
after the switch.
One Greensboro station CH8 and Burlington CH2. No change in WUNC still 
comming
in just as before (Watched This Old House last night and again this morning.

73,
