ATSC Haiku

Blue screen vanishes
blue sky and green fields appear
call sign, blue screen returns

6 dB ratio
from peak to channel average
power costs a lot

no snow, no ghosting
perfect signal every time
except for drop-outs

Ricochet bankrupt
phoenix is reborn from ash
on 33 cm

MPEG2 for sound
AC-3 costs too damn much
stupid patent trolls

K6BEN
ATV serving all of
silicon valley
