This brings to mind a similar experience I've had in the past, but never
really thought to mention. When I had my store, my tiny outdoor Terk yagi -
which was pointing straight at a metal hydro tower, which was in front of a
mid-rise apartment building - picked up Buffalo PBS best, but often times
during inclement weather, the main HD channel would fall to pieces, while
that station's SD sub-channels would be largely unaffected. Before you
mentioned this, I suppose I thought a phenomenon like this would be largely
known, but perhpas not?
BTW...neither that channel's analog signal, nor any other Buffalo station's
analog signal were even remotely watchable with the same antenna.
