I'll try that.  I am not too far from the transmitter now actually, but
being in the hospital wouldn't help the fact and that is where I am now.
I'll have to try it on my way home, but I am able to pull in stuff from
well across the pond in Canada, and some stuff in Ohio.  I am getting a
station on CH 37 which is not licensed in the Detroit area, and this
mainly has been infomercials,  CH 31 out of Chatham On I think, and this
is something that is Canada's version of PBS, though it doesn't appear to
be the CBC.  The channel I a having trouble with is 56 on 727.75 which is
the audio output.  There is a station that is on 62 that I don't have any
trouble with at all, and I think that both stations are on the same tower.
