Re: [IRCA] Skywave noise

And these folks that got a high VHF signal are also going to be sorry. They don't get much power. For example  WSPA TV on 7 analog has 316,000 watts. Digital they get 25,000 watts. They get SEVERE disruption from thunderstorms, but not as bad as 2-6. Expect problems. Last week we had a strong thunderstorm that had a lot of lightning fairly close. The digital part of 21 was freezing and stuttering due to static, and I expect a digital 7 would be unuseable .
