No luck, I think. UPN 20 is LOW power, and you need to be real close to receive it. UPN 24 (Baltimore) is also low power.
Sorry!

WDCA-DT (UPN) service has been operating under Digital Special Temporary Authority (STA) until they are ready to go full-power. This will require FOX5/UPN20 engineers to move their DTV antenna to a new tower. Currently they are running low-power (1.172 kW) and their DTV antenna is extremely low (146.1 m HAAT). Compare UPN20 to the other DC area stations and you'll see why very few people can receive them.
FYI, the engineers at FOX5/UPN20 are making plan to move WDCA-DT and go full-power as early as July. However, there is no official word so don't be surprised if this doesn't happen. Anyway, when this happens their DTV antenna will be almost twice as high and their digital signal will be over 400X more powerful.
This is not a VOOM problem.
