K31GL's signal suddenly weak
- Thread starter JHBrandt
- Start date
Yes, I noticed this too. Atmospheric conditions? Interference form Eufaula, OK?
Not seeing any difference here in NW Dallas. Same signal level-quality as usual, same physical channel 31. 31.3 is off though.
I have noticed that K31GL's signal here is fluctuating VIOLENTLY. Goes from 60% to 32% in seconds! Is it the weather?

It was not mornal for me. I can't get the station with RCA rabbit ears on an Isignia 42 inch Plasma.

It's a UHF station, but I assume your rabbit ears include a UHF loop which usually gets 31.
When I checked Monday evening, 31's signal strength was way better than it was last weekend, but still a bit below what it usually reads. So it's possible there's still something going on. I didn't recheck the signal strength yesterday.

I get the digitized signal. I am in Desoto. Most of the LPTV stations are all over the area. Are there any in Cedar Hill?

The question is more aptly expressed as what's *NOT* in Cedar Hill for LPTV or full power facilities.
The only two DTV facilities serving our area (both LPTV) not in Cedar Hill are KPFW/18 and KLEG/44.
Visit this site, click on Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. Then click each station followed by a click on "Technical Data and Screencaps". The transmitting antenna location is revealed along with a wealth of other information. Enjoy!

And from your location in DeSoto, you should receive them all, except KPFW/18, which is off the air right now anyway, but will be using a directional antenna that doesn't cover DeSoto when they return (after KTXA moves). All the others should come in fine.
I rechecked K31GL tonight and its signal was still good. Any weather or technical issues are apparently gone now. (And 31-3, Hot TV, is back on!)
