Reception Reports: Quick Hits From June 2012!

Greetings TV Garth readers! Before the month of June is up, I wanted to give a quick rundown of some of the new stations I've picked up this month! Plus I wanted to give a sneak peek at a special event I'm going to be attending this weekend! So stay tuned for a proud roundup of reception in June!

The New Catches

The Paris, ON repeater of CIII (Global) on RF6 was the first VHF-lo DTV signal I caught. I originally saw it in May, but captured this great logo shot on June 10, 2012!



June also brought my very first digital E-Skip reception! I brought out a Channel Master 3016 antenna that I had in storage and threw it outside in time to catch KNOP on RF2 from North Platte, NE on June 10th! (A whopping 1,105 miles from me!)



Also on June 10th I caught some analog E-Skip with CJCB coming in from Sydney, NS on Ch. 4!



I think they call it E-Skip because I kept screaming "EEEEEE" when new channels arrived. I was shocked to get another DTV E-Skip on June 10th when KDLO (RF3) from Florence, SD showed up! (KDLO is 906 miles away from me!)



Recently on June 27th, my local station CICA (TVO) was off the air, so I was able to snag WSYT on RF19 from Syracuse, NY! (I was thrilled because I remember DXing this back in the day when I was a kid!)



On June 28th, my Channel Master 3016 came in handy again when I bagged Cleveland, OH's WJW on RF8! (The last time I saw this station was for a few seconds in 2009 on its pre-transition frequency RF31!)



The Special Event

I'm going away for the weekend, and I'm pretty pumped. Can you guess where I'm headed? (Seen June 26, 2012 via Rochester, NY's WHAM, RF13.)



Alright, I'll come out with it...I'm heading downtown for Toronto Pride this weekend! (Seen June 10, 2012 via Rochester, NY's WXXI, RF16.)



I know there'll be some FABULOUS drag queens around! (Seen June 9, 2012 via Rochester, NY's Bounce TV subchannel on WROC, RF45-2.)



There might also be some men in speedos! (Seen June 27, 2012 via Buffalo, NY's WGRZ, RF33.)



Whatever happens, I'll proudly keep my CHIN up with all the gorgeous folks running around! (Seen June 27, 2012 via Toronto, ON's CITY, RF44.)



It's sure to be a delicious event, and it'll be fun to be in the middle of it all! (Seen June 27, 2012 via Detroit, MI's WDIV, RF45.)



And don't forget Beyoncé's timeless adage, "If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it!" (Seen June 24, 2012 via Rochester, NY's WROC, RF45.)
