We know that audio > can in the AM band, but what about Video in the UHF? If the earth was flat, no problem. Being it's not, the only way to get from NY to LA would be if the atmospheric conditions were right and it bounced up and down to get there. There are actually a few "world records" for long distance tv veiwing, I'm probably mistaken but top honors I beleive was some guy in New Zealand picked up some kind of watchable signal from Michigan. Or maybe it was Michigan from Chile. I don't run across those much anymore, probably due to cable and people not "spinning the dial" anymore. But the point is, that was all due to weather conditions. If the curvature of the earth wasn't involved, enough power could get a signal from anywhere to anywhere. -bruce bje@ripco.com
