The first one shows the tower that W14EE is on.
The next two are images of WSMV 4.10 on W14EE.

The pictures look good. Thank you Xmguy for the pictures and Nashdigie for posting them. I hope they put the power up soon so I can at least get WSMV.

Thanks NashDigie and Leatherneck. The current antenna is just on top of the BUILDING. That's one reason it's so weak in power.

You're welcome, Xmguy. I've always wondered why the channel was so bad to get up high. I had an antenna that had a high signal strength but nothing came in. That antenna was lower to the ground but was inside my house to pick up WKRN.

Did you test to see how long W14EE lasted until it went out or did you not test for it? Just a question on my end. I was close to getting it tonight and was wondering if I have a chance to get it.

Since it wasn't a 3.0 signal, I couldn't test it on the move well. Sorry. I do know this I could not get it down the road. Literally. The Algood Cemetery..

That's fine. I should have figured it wouldn't stay in on the move since it's ATSC 1.0.

Old AT&T Long Lines microwave tower and transmitter building. Nostalgia. At least one of the old AT&T circular microwave repeater antennas looks like it has been gutted. Wouldn't be surprised if a new microwave antenna was installed in it to get the feed from WSMV. Wonder if Gray is going to have the old microwave feedhorns removed and move the antenna to the top of the tower?

Yep. The tower itself doesn't house any of the current RX, or TX for W14EE. They are using a vertical polarized small yagi to get WTNX, and rebroadcast from a small UHF panel antenna. All on top of the shed.

Sounds like they just slapped something together because of the lack of materials.
