[SBE] analog shut-off day

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

I have gotten a number of calls from viewers in downtown Charleston. 
There are a lot of two story buildings close together. These cause a 
lot of reflections. The people in these historic homes do not want to 
put up an outside antenna. They want to use their old rabbit ears and 
do not understand why that cannot receive all the stations. They are 
about 14 miles from the transmitter.

I had one call from a procrastinater that wanted that wanted to 
receive our news from a partner radio station.

At least we do have some loyal viewers.

Most of my problems have been from viewers that insist on using rabbit ears.
