Decoder Station 1.6 (Tropo DX)

UHF Reception from Erie, PA

Managed by WNY Over The Air, suburban, on grid

ATSC 3.0: Yes

Environment: Tropo (Anomalous Propagation)

Height of Antenna: 30’ AGL

Location: Lockport, NY

Notes:

Occasionally, the atmosphere (troposphere) will send distant TV stations beyond their normal reach. This is referred to as “tropo”. Distant signals received via tropo are considered "radio mirages".

This reception is not reliable, but can be predicted. The late spring, summer, and early fall months allow for reception from Erie, PA using the troposphere. There will be limited activity during the winter.
