Montreal area OTA spectrum post-transition
I made a list using the assigned UHF number of each station in Post-Transition. Since OTA reception is not an exact science and everything depends on location, antenna height, antenna direction, transmitter power, and the usage of amplifiers, I built the list using Montreal, Vermont and Sherbrooke which easily reach the city. To an extend, I added some Gatineau-Ottawa and Trois-Rivières stations which could potentially be received under weird weather conditions.
The list is for Post-Transition, meaning after August 31, 2011, and taking into ideal consideration that all stations are OTA-digital ready, including CBC repeaters (known to be delayed). Everything can change. Interesting to see how the airwaves are crowded.
