Where does it mention 'Low Power", I seem to have missed it.?
Mountaintop to mountaintop reception over great distances is the norm with
analog stations as well as with digital and is no surprise. Our UHF station
in LA (Mt. Wilson ch.54) is routinely received in your hill top areas,
including Tijuana. Our analog and digital signals in the Fresno area, at
8000' elevation above the valley floor, are viewed across a nearly 400-mile
area from Bakersfield to Stockton. COFDM, at equal power levels, would also
amazing have coverage. As mentioned by Bob Gonsett, weather fronts do tend
to be disruptive to these signals, over the relatively short term.
I don't believe that OTA broadcasting is dead, however, it has been severely
disadvantaged by the delay in ATSC receiver development and also the
non-competitive actions of some major chain stores (except Sears). The
receiver problem now seems to be technically resolved to a satisfactory
degree, but that product is not yet widely available.

P.S. Yet someone else who doesn't know that "OTA is dead" and "8-VSB
doesn't work." When will they ever learn?
