Your reception of "WTEN", channel ten from Albany, NY on channel 19 was no fluke; However it was really WCDC, channel 19. WCDC is located on Mount Greylock in Adams MA (Near the notheast corner of the state, and also the highest elevation in MA, 3491'). WCDC is owned by the the people who own channel 10, and always broadcasts the same material. It isn't just a small translator, but a full-fledged station, with about 20KW out (about 200KW ERP). And Mt. Greylock is an excellent VHF location... A group I've been associated with for many years uses this as the site for contesting the ARRL VHF and UHF contests every summer, and we've set overall records many times from that spot. Of course now that I live in California, I don't get back for radio contests quite as often.
