Probably because they couldn’t get it into position near the building by that point. Also remember the Satellite is there for its LDH for water supply if necessary.
I was just wondering how far away from NYC can some people hear the new UHF frequencies. I'm up by New Haven. Sometimes in the past depending on conditions I could get all the boroughs in or not. Just curious on the new UHF propagation on how far the radio waves are traveling.
