I'm going to throw out my opinion here. My opinion is simply that the home owners (CARE) on "lookout mountain" where the TV antennas were built back in the 40's & 50's are betting that by successfully fighting new towers, the TV stations will go elsewhere. Then, eventually the current towers will be torn down & they will see Massive Property value increase.
You have to remember, the towers were there first. You have to realize that one of the largest issues addressed by the new tower that the stations wanted to build was that it would focus the broadcast out into the city of Denver. It would be an aimed antenna (somewhat) versus a fully omni-directional antenna. If the stations had been allowed to build the single new better tower, four old existing towers would have been torn down and the land turned over for "open space"
We will know if my opinion is right between now and 2009. In 2009, after the Analog shutdown the stations will try and begin broadcasting a digital signal out of the old towers. If CARE launches a legal campaign to prevent that from happening, you will know that CARE didn't JUST care about the new tower.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
