Was this happening in the winter, too?

Sometimes, especially when the weather warms up, conditions on the atmosphere near ground level can cause distant stations to travel beyond the horizon (a phenomenon called tropospheric refraction). This sometimes allows people to see TV stations (even UHF) at great distances, but, it also causes stations to interfere with each other (for example, if analog channel 32 in Louisville were to become very strong at your home, it could wipe out your digital reception of WPSD [NBC])

One would think that with 906 kW at 492.0m, from only 44 miles, that WPSD-DT should be durable.

Is your homemade bowtie on the roof, in the attic, or on the set?
