Title:
HDTV over the air DX- Crookston MN to Winnipeg Manitoba

Description:
All over the air TV stations must be broadcasting in digital by Feb 2009 in the USA and by Aug 2011 in Canada. To receive your free local stations, you will need an HDTV with a built in digital tuner or a converter box for use with old TV's http://www.dtv.gov/ http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/oca-bc.nsf/en/ca02336e.html HDTV station KCGE PBS channel 16. This Over the Air channel is located in Crookston Minnesota (near Grand Forks ND) this station was received in Winnipeg Manitoba which is located 240 KM (150 miles) north of the KCGE transmitter. Such long ranges are not typical but can occur as a result of atmospheric temperature inversions that causes the signals to follow the curvature of the earth. This often happens in the summer months on the VHF TV band but it is rare for it to occur in the UHF HDTV band (470-806 MHz) The HD picture and sound are amazing. Winnipeg does not have any DT OTA channels yet.
