Reception Question

[MarcB]

I was curious if you have a powerful antenna is it possible to get get 2 different stations that broadcast on the same virtual channel, but have separate RF channels?

Example: WHDH Boston's virtual Channel is 42 and their RF Channel is 7 and in CT WZME's virtual Channel is 42 and their RF Channel is 43.

Example: WPIX NYC's virtual and RF Channel is 11 and in Springfield, Mass WWLP's virtual channel is 11 and their RF Channel is 22.

The WHDH RF channel is 42. Their virtual channel is 7. WZME also operates on RF channel 42. They don't indicate their virtual channel.

In a kind of a zig-zag, Panama City, Florida's WJHG (NBC) broadcasts on channel 18 with 7 as their virtual. CBS affiliate WECP (low-power) broadcasts on channel 29 with 18 as their virtual. WJHG's signal is strong enough to reach the southern fringes of Dothan, Alabama, where WDHN (ABC) transmits on 21 with 18 as virtual.

WZME's virtual channel is 43.

You have this backwards. WZME's virtual channel is 43 and their RF is 42. WWLP's virtual is 22 and RF is 11. Keep in mind virtual means the channel number you see. RF is the channel they broadcast on.
