I've already had a few requests for a copy of the crowbar image I was using while my blog was down, so here it is:
The FCC is shutting down full-power NTSC television broadcasts today, freeing up about 414MHz (69 channels * 6MHz/channel) of the airwaves for other uses. So, as I did a year ago when the FCC killed off the AMPS cellular band, I figured I'd stay up until midnight to see what would happen.
Strangely enough, the same thing that happened last time repeated itself: those channels are still broadcasting after midnight. Waste of my time, indeed.
