I remember Channel 17 from when i was in that area 14 yrs ago or so.........
I also have it on VHS coming in on a skip one night here in Albany a couple years ago........ It was a rainy night,about 2 am and the local PBS station (WMHT 17) signed off and i was getting a faint/weak signal.....I recorded it and it was WPHL!!!!! I hadnt seen that station since 1992 or when i was down there!!!!!!
I was getting it over the cable system NOT MY OWN TV... So apparantly the cable co was pulling 17 OFF AIR and thats how i was able to get it in..... (They were just above the cable co's video filter,any weaker i wouldnt have ever known they were there)
The only other time i got any DX on the cable was another night that year WHEC (channel 10) from buffalo came barreling in for about 3 hours.. (Crystal clear for about 1 1/2hr or so) I got 3 shows on tape 1 after the other........ All in the family,Cosby show and i forget the one after that but thats when it started fading into space..............And finally below the video filter
Now all the locals are 24hrs so that wouldnt be possible
But the HIGHEST FREQ. dx i have ever seen is channel 40 from NJ skipping in every night in Devon. (Thats where i was in PA)
I hope WPHL's quality doesnt go down the tubes with this change!
