We recently put an LPTV on the air in Brookfield, Connecticut. WXGN-LD signed on on Friday, September 6th.
This is UHF station with a 15 KW ERP (the limit for LPTV). This station has an elliptically polarized antenna with 4.5 KW in the vertical polarization.
The transmitter is made by a Spanish company called TRedess
This has been installed in a former Sprint cell building. The wire ladders are left over from them. Still, it makes a convenient place for the mask filter, which is up and out of the way.
I also swept the antenna and filter.
This station is associated with these folks: XGN Network LLC
Those little telecom buildings are nice. A LPTV in Rhode Island used an old Media Flow building (and coax) for their install.
(Unrelated, but a little related about using old. WGBH-TV in Boston is using the old 3″ Media Flo line for their primary antenna in Needham on VHF 5).
Media Flo – The concept that never was. We had a few of them around here, nice installations.
There is a crane company by me that still has several Nextel buildings on their lot. Last time I checked they were selling them for $5K each plus delivery. They do make nice turn key sites for AM, FM and LPTV’s.
