Tankmaster said "...after speaking with a member of the police department, I found that their is not one device capable of measuring the loudness of sounds..."

There is a device that measures the loudness of sounds. Oddly enough, it is called a DECIBELMETER.

Normal conversation is 50dB, ergo 60dB is ten times louder-- probably still to loud for bass. For waves of a constant amplitude (i.e. volume), the lower the frequency of a wave, the more power it carries. Hence the reason you hear bass from an approaching vehicle long before you hear anything else.

About WRJM. Not all stations have to convert to Digital. There are some stipulations that allow local channels to continue broadcasting in low-power analog. They may be one of those. That is why it is important to get a converter box w/ analog passthrough.

Ooh... another important fact for those who are over the air-- analog VHF goes up to channel 70, whereas Digital VHF only goes up to channel 51-- therefore, if you have any channels in Andalusia in slots 52-70 (which I don't remember any from when I lived there), they will be moving to another channel. You will have to rescan on February 18th to search for them.

BF2C21,

Is WSFA also going to have digital repeaters? The law mandates that the station broadcast in Digital, but allows them to keep their low-power analog repeaters. Digital transmitters only work at about a 30 mile radius before a repeater is needed. Andalusia will not get digital WSFA, or anything but APT if Montgomery, Dothan, and/or Pensacola don't also convert their repeaters over.

Also, FYI WDIQ, and all APT stations will drop their analog transmitters on COB February 17th.

lokeyhere,

"...but this fellow needs to go back to Mississippi before someone hurts him." could very well indeed be construed as an implicit threat. If it wasn't a threat from the author, what exactly did he mean by it?

And nothing beat Mr. Lamar Barton's peach cobbler cooked over coals in a cast iron Dutch oven... well except for maybe my great grandmother's peach cobbler.

My great grandmother ate chicken feet. She called them "scratchers." I think when we finally enter our generation's depression, I will starve to death. Or eat dirt or Ramen noodles.
