They deal with only one type of reception condition.
The reason I think the Schubin apartment tests matter is
that they address what used to be the very worst possible
environment for 8-VSB. Meaning, 100 percent reflected
signal, and in the "hole of the doughnut" zone of signal
coverage, i.e. close to the transmitter site. This is where
8-VSB was known not to work. And in a high RF clutter
environment to boot.
But that site alone does not cover all bases. One would think
the majority of the US do not live within 2 miles of the
transmitter towers.
