UnID 2, ND LPTV?

[ChrisPC]

When analog went away, I hooked up my old B&W portable, and connected it to my rooftop rig to see if I could get any DX. I thought for sure I'd at least get Mexico or Canada.

I hadn't been getting anything, until today around 10AM CDT, when I got rolling bars on 2. I fine tuned it, and was getting a 2+ from the NW. I thought this was Canada, but then an infomercial with a US number popped in for a second. Another DXer in another forum also confirmed seeing it.

I looked at the FCC site, and the only commercial 2+ to my NW is KVNJ-LP Fargo, ND, a translator for KCPM-DT Grand Forks, ND. I checked Zap2it, and they were running infomercials at the time. BTW, it's only 1.13kW, at 905 miles! :eek:

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the forum.
Now that the full power Stateside clutter is gone many DXers are seeing the "flea power" stations. Keep an eye out for KREX DTV 2 (5) Grand Junction, CO. 800 watts, CBS, 1100 miles from here. I've seen it a couple of times and so have others in our area.

I'm getting it again today, stronger that ever, with some CCI.
