Default KIRO Channel 7 moving digital antenna this week

Broadcast station KIRO, Ch 7, in Seattle, WA will be removing its analog antenna at the station's Queen Anne tower tomorrow and replacing it with a digital antenna in the same position. It's estimated that work will be completed by Saturday, July 11th.

KIRO has released a news update today notifying its viewers that digital signals will still be broadcasted throughout the week, but at a lower power output of 50% of normal power.

Quote:
Viewers in outlying areas and some outlying cable companies may not be able to receive KIRO's signal during the work on the tower.
Quote:
The full-strength signal should be restored to all viewers by Sunday.

Some jobs are so dangerous that i think OSHA doesn't really matter. the Army, shark fishing, construction, the police, etc.

Nice pictures though. did i read 56K? i never thought any ISP nowadays even supports dial-up anymore. sheesh i'm spoiled by wireless broadband...

You also really, really wouldn't want to know just how much their employer pays every year for workers' compensation coverage
