WWDP-DT AND WYDN-DT

A

alg2468

Are WWDP-DT and WYDN-DT on the air again? Here in Pawtucket, I know that WWDP supposedly restored its digital signal to ch. 10 after WJAR 10's analog signal went off at midnight on the 17th. And WYDN-DT, ch. 47, is a station I have not received since around the end of January - I could receive the station before that. Anyone receiving the signals from these stations? And anyone notice that WLVI-DT's signal has weakened since Tuesday?
 
WWDP-DT (Channel 10) is on the air and at full power. The signal, compared to the original DT on Channel 52, is far and away better than it was before. The handover from WJAR to WWDP on Channel 10 was flawless. As for WYDN, they seem to be much weaker than before. I used to decode 47 fairly well. I'm using a fringe corner reflector for UHF with an 18db. amplifier in-line. 'YDN's signal is there but does not decode as before. With no foliage to absorb the signal and fairly cold temperatures as of late, the DTV 47 signal should be there..... but no luck. I live about 25 miles from Needham/Newton, MA (Boston's antenna farm). Other than 47, all other Boston stations make it here, as do most of Providence's DT's as well. As for WLVI-DT, they may be doing some work to prepare for the final transition on June 12th. I think you'll see more of this until the 12th of June. Once that is over, you may see some wholesale power upgrades being made everywhere. We shall see.
