What is a "DXer"? Just wondering.
I was thinking how I'm 38 so I remember the test patterns of the 70's and 80's. The old fashioned circular designs were still around in some places but eventually most stations went to that color bar thing (how boring).
Anyway in remembering this I am wondering if TV even ever stops at all anymore. Think about it. Even after the network signs off most stations turn into all news or infomercial until morning local news. I don't think TV ever ends anymore.
I guess the powers dont want to waste all that time broadcasting a more or less useless image for hours on end. Time is $$. I always wondered why they didnt just fade to black after the good old National Anthem. I miss those days...
