I pass along for whatever it's worth...
(1) Did not have my "jove" receiver on today because I had to disconnect the antenna for Spring field maintenance.
(2) My wife was watching the local broadcast TV news on channel 5, 76 to 82 Mhz. (Yes, we still use over-the-air TV!) about 1700 EDT or 2100 UTC.
(3) She ask what the Sun was doing and I replied I had no idea, "Why?"
(4) She said the signal was frequently very pixilated and for seconds at a time would go completely black. We are about 40 miles as the crow flies from the xmitter.
(5) She wondered if solar activity might be causing this?
This is not the first time she has commented on "interrupted" TV reception.
Anyway....fun with radio.....bill...
