macuu222, Channel 13.1/13.2 has a really bad signal in lower HPP according to the coverage maps. They put out a lot of power and use a great frequency, but their transmit antenna is just in a horrible spot. They put out 8,000 watts. Our 15 watt transmitter in Mountain View provides a signal that is 3 times stronger in lower HPP. It's all about transmit antenna location.
They are pumping a massive signal over an area with almost no population between Kilauea and Saddle Road. But they are missing the most populated part of Puna.
The oversimplify it, they are providing a killer signal over Hilo, but just Hilo. If they provided a lobe that covered Puna, they would almost double the number of households that they hit with that saturating signal.
