It is difficult for people who are not TV/FM DXers to understand why short distance Es is so
fascinating to TV DXers. They never seem to grasp the concept of Es effecting
only TV signals that are more than 500 miles away. Without further ado, let it be
said that signals received by Es which are nearer than 600 miles are rare, while
reception of signals nearer than 500 miles is almost impossible.
KBEJ-2 via Very Short E-skip KBEJ-2 Fredericksburg TX via Es at 327 miles June 15, 2005 1205 CDT (As published in VUD, 10/2005.) Receiver: Panasonic VCR/Sanyo 13 inch TV Antenna: Finco Y10-2 ten-element channel 2 yagi at eleven feet above ground level Dear Mr. Oglethorpe, Thanks for writing about KBEJ-TV. I can confirm for you that what you received was in fact the KBEJ transmitter. You saw video of a test signal because the microwave link from Austin to Stonewall, Texas, went down. There is an automatic video presence sensor that switches up the test generator whenever the studio-to-transmitter link (STL) is lost. It is pretty cool that you can receive KBEJ in Shreveport. Watch for the signal this weekend, as the tropo ducting forecast is for quite severe conditions, optimum for DXing. Best regards, Jerry Paonessa Engineering Supervisor KENS-TV/DT 210-377-8778 |
