Wbob-tv is on the air!

Well, I finally got around to putting it all together, and it works great. AThe shut down of analog NTSC is not going to silence my tv's

WBOB is transmitting on VHF chanels 3,6,8,10, and 12. The front end is 4 Magnovox Digital to Analog converters and one DVD player. They feed 5 Holland modulators which feed into a 12 input Holland combiner. Output is sent via wire to my sets. Signal is strong and clear.

I still need to put up an antenna to feed the D to A converter boxes, but at least it is functioning and most of the hard work is already done.

I welded up a small equipment rack frame and designed the whole mess to mount with a couple of lag screws to the wall.

When completely finished, each converterwill be tuned to a local chanel and I will be able to use the tuners in my tv's to switch from chanel to chanel and even select the dvd player, which will be transmitting on chanel 8 (DVD player is not shown in photos)

What sort of work arounds have other AK members dreamed up to keep their old sets fed with signals?
