Years ago I had the biggest Channel Master TV antenna that was made
with a rotor, and had it hooked up to, among other things, a Marantz
stereo receiver that I had at the time.


Yep. On top of my Dad's tower were two Channel Master's co-phased -
that was an amazing sight - damn things were almost as big as his
Mosely tri-bander. :)

Ah the good old days of real radios.

After midnight, I could turn it towards Atlanta, and from about 180
miles away I could tune in 96 Rock, WKLS Atlanta. Got TV stations
from Charleston and Charlotte anytime I wanted. Kids these days just
don't understand. :-)


We used to monitor channel two all the time - when we got a signal
from Albany, it was time for six meter DX.
