** OKLAHOMA. RF 13, May 18 at 0238 UT, three of the four OETA channels
are black except for lower-right bugs, i.e. they are getting no
programming input to put out, -2 World, -3 Create, -4 Kids - while -1
is nominal with main channel movie! Still so for a few minutes, but by
0245 check, they are all back. Storm is hitting OKC, maybe partial
power outage or satellite dishes disrupted.
** OKLAHOMA. I`ve been intending to survey all the sub/channels of the
OKC TV stations, as the lineups keep shifting - indeed I run across
some ``channel`` with names new to me. This is not via the rooftop
antenna, but rabbit ears on the second floor which I have very
carefully positioned for best/reliable reception of OETA RF 13. This
means that some other OKC channels don`t decode without messing with
the r-e which I don`t want to do: mainly KWTV 9 RF25, KSBI 52 RF23.
BTW, this handy dipole dates from my OKC era 1954-1961y, when they
were quite sufficient for local reception. No UHF loop included. These
names are read off the PSIP display, not from on-screen bugs which are
often different or variant! And note the capitalization and
punxuation, which I have copied exactly. This was accomplished around
