Happy new year

Channel Master - much more to come but here is what I consider to be the ultimate and most beautiful sight on a rooftop circa 1970

The 4311G UHF adjustable yagi and 3611 crossfire VHF pictured below are on a 50-foot wood pole in a nearby neighborhood. No rotator, these beauties are aimed toward Philadelphia 60 miles away. Back in the days of analog, this returned at least 0 db crystal clear pictures on 4 VHF and 3 UHF (independents) channels, no doubt. Just a guess but the owner probably did not care if they watched the local affiliates, 1 NBC, 1 ABC, 1 PBS and 3(!) CBS stations.
A second guess, this pole with climbing arms, was also climbed more than once to replace a dead mast preamp!
