Removing the radio from Radio Point
|
what about kexp?
|
|
| If they don't have at least some radio transmitters on them, then how come whenever KEXP has workmen up on their transmitter, they reference "their antenna on Capitol Hill?" Are there other towers on Cap Hill? | |

Keep the radio in Radio Point
|
|
|
The radio towers in Radio Point have had a special spot in my heart since I won the KEXP transmitter in the latest KEXP Own a Piece auction. The sliding glass door of our apartment faces the towers and I will often look at the blinking lights when I should be working. So in defense of the towers, and without getting too technical, I would like to point out that television signals are in fact radio signals. If you do want to get technical searching Wikipedia for 'radio frequency' is a good place to start. Graham Hilltop resident |

It's easy

|
| Why not Tower Point? Though "point" doesn't seem right, here. The Towers? | |

Yes, radio
|
|
|
"you can't get KCTS both sound and picture (maybe this will change with digital?) and you get KUOW (radio) in your braces" Real close to the transmission source, broadcasts on one channel tend to leak across the entire spectrum, drowning out signals in other channels (like TV channels). This quote is proof that its radio transmitters, not TV. |

What's on the transmitter towers: mostly TV
|
|
|
The money is in TV. All 3 towers transmit TV: channels 9 (KCTS), 11 (KSTW) and 22 (KBTW). The channel 9 tower (KCTS) also transmits FM radio signals: KUOW and KEXP and (I suspect) a third low power FM signal. When first built the channel 22 tower also had an FM radio antenna on it, but that was removed. No AM radio is broadcast there: low lying boggy land is best for that purpose and we've got lots of that, just not on the top of hills. All 3 towers also host a whole load of special purpose little antennas and dishes. |

radio

I recently moved further down the hill from my former spot close to the towers. In my old place, I literally could not get one single radio station. Nothing. Not even one. I now live at Pike and Harvard and get them all clearly. Maybe just a coincidence? I don't have a TV so I can't report on that, but it seems the towers definitely had an effect on my radio signals. |

Lost Triangle
|
|
|
We have always been a bit of a Bermuda Triangle here as the area North of Union and South of Madison is not in any neighborhood. Squire Park borders on Union and Miller Park borders on Madison. The area does fall under the blanket of the Central District but it doesn't have any identity as a neighborhood other than not being in a neighborhood. We are more "across the street" from somewhere. I guess that now we are an official CHS Button Jar Host that Capitol Hill is trying to stake more of a claim on this real estate. It's fine with me if both sides want to stake a claim, we can share..... |

RE: Lost Triangle

Miller Park "shared" the area between Pine and Madison a while ago with the Central Neighborhood Association: http://home.jps.net/~tayles/miller_map.gif See longer history in my comment on: http://www.centraldistrictnews.com/2008/06/12/stop-the-cd-la Central Neighborhood Association has been dormant for years and showed signs of reviving after last year's shootings, but nothing more has happened. It's time.... Andrew (tayles@jps.net) |
