Yes, John, ch4.

I checked the FCC website, it is VHF channel 4.

Actually, this is out of Rock Island, IL. The transmitter is in Orion, IL. That's for stations on both sides of the river. Cedar Rapids is actually within the transmitter range according to the FCC map, despite the fact we have a CBS affiliate of our own.

Rock Island it is. Rockford, it's not. Thanks for the correction. And yes, channel 4.

I can only wish it was tropospheric ducting. They'd have to pick me up off the floor.

This was a great day for tropospheric ducting...in Howell, NJ I was listening to my FM radio by the pool on the 6th when suddenly, around 6:30 / 7 PM, a Nashville station overpowered the local one I was listening to. I also heard a station in Missouri before switching to the RDS in the car and hearing Arkansas stations, and one in Kentucky. I did try the DTV sonverter upstairs, but it was late by then and things were settling down. I did see a channel 5 analog nightlight; had to be MO or OK.

Sorry; I guess I meant sporadic E...it was a mess and signals were all over the top of each other. Ducting would be more consistent. I also misspelled "converter" - I see you posted another video where you received a channel 5 DTV out of OK...the path was similar to the analog 5 that I saw. Thanks for the videos!

Very nice to see that e-skip also works on DTV ! 5*

Yes, SpE works okay with DTV stations on ch A2-6. Too bad there aren't more stations on lowband VHF. After a while we'll be seeing the same stations over and over again. I began noticing that happening this summer already.

Hmm, better than nothing:
Even some East European countries like Moldova Republic or Russia did launch new stations on VHF-I up from 2008, they possibly will all close down around 2015 there and our hobby will be over forever, while you can be lucky and enjoy DTV via ES also in far future...
DTV via e-skip from A2-A6 seems amazing since I check your US-forum from time to time.
