Ven-Es-uela y Colombia 08-05-2013

These were from home, Monday morning 8/5.

2 RCN
3 TVes
3 Televen
4 Venevision---Note: I thought I had another ch 4, because I saw no sync-bar ID like is on my YouTube; but indeed it was VV, so they may have dropped that ID for good---bummer. And yes, one pic is of their own version of "The Doctors."

Christopher, good DX and photos

I always liked sync bar IDs. WYFF-4, WGRZ-2, KTVQ-2, and others were common IDs by DXers. Unfortuanatley, I think the use of sync-bar IDs had greatly declined long before the end of analog TV in the US.

Nice job Chris. Unfortunately for me, those are like new neighbors next door...you know they're there, but the big wooden fence keeps you from seeing them.

^ Ya mean, like Wilson on "Home Improvement"?

Mike, I think you will eventually meet Wilson - and Televen, Venevision, etc. Your location is certainly among the best for Es and tropo.

On the other hand, my hope is not to remain the only DXer to ever log channel 6 from San Pedro Sula, Honduras without being able to log the channels 2 and 4 from there. That is my goal in life.

Haha yeah.

Don't feel bad Danny, my goal is to eventually land a ch 6 anywhere in Central America.

[Danny]

Mike, I feel like you will receive some channel 6s from down there.

Does KXKW-LP give you any problems? KXKW doesn't appear to hurt your reception of XET-6.

Well remember Mike, I was able to bag 6 Managua this year o/ my local "87.7" WEYS, and Juan (Iowacane) caught it months earlier. It seems to me that this ch 6 lay dormant for about 20 years; it was once co-owned with ch 2 as Sistema Sandinista de Television (someone correct me if I am wrong here). Juan was the first to see it since then, I'm sure.
