Phoenix was a good choice because of its isolation. This provided the availability of channels for ATSC 3.O testing.
Compare to Cleveland, where Youngstown, Erie, London (ON), Columbus, Pittsburgh, Toledo and Detroit stations all make it difficult to find a channel for test stations that wouldn't case interfere with viewing in other surrounding areas.
