Hello all, Update on FOX 40. On Tuesday March 19, a high voltage component on the transmitter Tower for FOX 40 Sacramento failed, taking down the high power signal to the TV channel. They quickly switched over to a temporary low power transmitter so they could continue to broadcast, but the transmitter is only 10% of the normal power, so you may have issues receiving it. There is nothing wrong with your antenna. They assured me they have people working around the clock to restore the full power signal. No ETA yet, but it could be just days from now.

This is an antenna Balun, or Transformer. I broke it open so you can see what makes it tick. It allows you to connect coaxial cable to your old style twin lead antenna to maximize the transfer of the antenna signal down through the coaxial cable to your tv set. In the picture you see 2 incoming leads that attach to the antenna with 2 separate wing nuts. Each lead goes through a wire wound transformer. You can see the little square transformer in the center with the copper wires wound around through the center and outside of the transformer. As it exits the transformer, 2 wires go to the coaxial fitting, one to the ground outside threads, and the other to the center cooper conductor for the coaxial cable. the transformer takes the input of twin lead at 300 ohms and converts it to 75 ohms, which matches the impedance of the coaxial cable for your tv set, allowing maximum signal transfer from antenna to tv. If you have an old antenna, you can hook it up to your existing coaxial cable using an antenna balun.

KCRA channel 3 continues to be mediocre. Tonight the signal went completely out for 30 minutes, then came back full strength 30 minutes later. It's not your antenna, they continue to have intermitent issues with their transmitter. This will affect all the channel 3's as well as the 58's since these are transmitted by the same station's tower.

Another tower install today. I took down 2 towers and installed 3 in the last couple of months. This is going to be it for awhile until my right elbow heals. Will be sticking to antennas and satellite for now.
