In the late 60's we set up a large Winegard VHF/UHF/FM antenna on a 40' tower with pre-amplification at the antenna, fed by coax to the house. The tube preamp/distributor was a Winegard and the rotor was a Channel Master.
Anyway, late in the evening when the local stations and some of the Memphis stations would sign off, I'd turn the rotor towards the south and watch WJTV out of Jackson, Mississippi or turn towards the north-west and watch KFVS out of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Back then we had a late 50's color Admiral that had outstanding sensitivity and selectivity. It wasn't much to look at from a beauty standpoint (big black metal box on gold legs), but it had a great picture and audio and made DX'ing a fairly easy task. It was eventually replaced with a hybrid RCA 25" set that was a dog performance-wise, thus ending my TV DXing days. But, there was still MW & SW DXing!
