 BK> David, thanks for your complete post. I was hoping you might go  
 BK> to some length in sanswering. As I sit here thinking, how would  
 BK> cable affect the signal from a tv sca? For instance, Boulder is  
 BK> 30 miles away from Denver where the tv channel is. Can you  
 BK> guess how the signal might be from my location? 
  
I am not sure I understand the question, but I think it is, how would my
reception of a TV SCA be from 30 miles away.  Well, there are variables, of
course, such as antenna height, power, and receiver location, but 30 miles is
starting to get on the fringe a little, but with good factors, should be
acceptable.'

 BK> Also, speaking of sca, I recently heard about a new sca radio  
 BK> that I sent a message to Susan about. When I heard the radio on  
 BK> the newsreel, I didn't seem to perceive any crosstalk. How can  
 BK> this be?If anyone reading this heard that report, I'd  
 BK> appreciate your feedback. I'd suspect that it's possible that  
 BK> some sca's are made better than others, but, if you have any  
 BK> ideas on why this might be, please let me know.  

You are right, some radios are better then others, and some stations are better
then others.  All things being equal, there will be days where corsstalk is
minimul or not hearable in some locations.  All the factors may have been right
for the newsreel demo.
