Uh Carlos, please don't play dumb with us. They could place antennaes anywhere and if they are tall enough then we get the signal. Please tell me how Texas residents coped all these years? I have been through Texas and they have tall towers no obstructions. In addition Mt. Wilson so what. There are plenty of other mountains in SoCal so TV would be in L.A. no matters what they used. If they want it bad enough they will find a way. But please don't talk down to the bloggers like we are all imbeciles...got it?

Tone of his blog. Anyone with half of the common sense of a normal individual can tell you that if we had no mountains tall towers work fine as they do in many places in the Midwest, plus we have many other tall mountains.

You know... sebar... I'm one of the biggest trolls I know and try to keep that in mind when I feel a tone of two dimensional communications like blogs make me feel as if I'm being talked down to that indeed there is a third dimension that cannot always be accurately measured.

Here we have what was in my view a friendly sharing of part of the tv history and Los Angeles. I thought it was interesting and remember myself going to such a site in Korea when I worked for our Armed Forces Korea Network there. I thought that giving credit to the technical staff on Mt Wilson was nice thing for Carlos to do.

But in no way, shape or form was there even the slightest evidence of the condescension that you ascribe to a simple friendly blog sharing a part of the mans job with us.

I prefer training and sharing to common sense. Don't people usually complain that sense isn't really all that common?

Hey Carlos or Tony,

I'm wondering if these sites fall into disrepair with the advent of cable and satillite will this disrupt our ability for emergency communications?

I think it was a farside joke where the emergency broadcast announcer ends with "had this been an actual emergency I would have gotten the hell out of here."

thanks...

I was just wondering cause I did notice once that cable movie channels didn't give weather warnings and to my thinking that's pretty unacceptable. Don't know if it's still that way but whilst living in Southern Illinois there were a few times when the rumble outside forced me to stop watching Cinemax long enough to turn to a local station for weather advisories.
