i <br />n <br />ROBERT A. JONES <br />GONSULTING ENdINEERS <br />LA GRANGE. ILLINOIS <br />Page 4 <br />erial permitted us to install a qood quality TV antenna on a temporary '; <br />basis as a substitute for the hc�meowners antenna. <br />The same representatives from N.S.P. (Mr. David Metz�, and i:rom <br />the Vi11agE (Mr. Larry Tschida) accompanied this writer. A11 three <br />were present on each home vis.ited on this "after" inspection. <br />The technique used here was the same as before. First, we <br />would observe the homeowners set and note the quality of recept�.on <br />on each channel. Then we would ask pe.rmission to plug in our test <br />set and turn it on. Observations on our set were noted and then <br />compared againstthe owners set. Observations of the AM and FM broad- <br />cast bands were made only an our test set, as were listening tests <br />� for noise. Each homeowner was asked if they had any difficulty with <br />� <br />0 <br />radio reception. Almost nobody stated that they did. In fact, many <br />claimed to never listen to AM or FM. In several homes, where pecuy- <br />.. iar int�rference was noted, video recordings were made. Wherever <br />� possible recordings were again taken at these same homes in the <br />, <br />"after" survey. At three locations� two on Lexington Ave. and one on <br />Owasso Blvd., our temporary TV antenna was connected. In each case <br />it proved a good quality antenna would correct the interferencf caused <br />by N.S.P. to these homeowners TV sets, In one or two other arEas a <br />given homeowner had already installed a good quality TV antenna, which <br />eliminated our �eed�to try our temporary antenna to determine the <br />satisfactory corrective measures to be taken. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />The obvious conclusion is that mqst of the hameowners were <br />not effected, significantly, by the construction of the N.S.P.'s <br />
