Installing another couple of these stations recently in the New York/Canadian border region. In this case, WTKJ-LD now transmitting from Cape Vincent, NY. This is owned by Sagamore Hill broadcasting and is retransmitting the NBC affiliate from Watertown, NY.
This is a pretty simple set up; BE 600 Watt UHF TV transmitter, Pro Television Exciter, 6 pole Dielectric Filter, and an 5 panel UHF antenna.
The shelter was made by Broadcast Electronics, it is somewhat small, but serviceable.
The LG window unit works well enough to keep the shelter cool. The transmitter runs at about 35% efficiency, so if the TPO is 470 watts. Thus the transmitter is putting 300 watts of heat into the room continuously.
The local cord cutters can get the following channels:
| 19.1 | 1080i | DD5.1  | WVNC-NBC | |
| 19-2 | 480i (w) | DD2.0 | Antenna TV | |
| 19-3 | 480i (w) | DD2.0 | ION | |
| 19-4 | 480p (w) | DD2.0 | Grit | |
| 19-5 | 480p (w) | DD2.0 | Bounce TV | |
| 19-6 | 480p (w) | DD2.0 | Court TV | |
| 19-7 | 480i (w) | DD2.0 | QVC | |
| 19-8 | 480i (w) | DD2.0 | SonLife | |
The weather up here is great! Cape Vincent is a nice small village with some decent local businesses. Unfortunately, summer is their main focus and many of them have closed down for the season. Still, there is a decent cup of coffee and the local market has a deli section that makes good sandwiches.
