Hi! New here + 1950s DX Photos...

I'd like to try answer 2 questions here.

"Always wondered- How DO you DX TV ?"

Before and to some extent after the Internet I would check channels that don't have stations on the air
and see if anything far away was coming in. Sometimes if I was spinning the dial and skinny lines on nearby

channels, that would tell me that conditions are open and I'd spin the antenna west and see if anything is

coming in on 2 through 69.

Also it's known that tropo is best in the spring and fall and that summer is good for Eskip.

Now with the internet I'm on a mailing list with other Dxers and they ost alerts if they see DX.

Here is a good web page that predicts tropo conditions:

"What is a "DXer"? Just wondering."

Someone who enjoys getting far away signals throughout the radio spectrum.

Other than TV FM, I've DXed LW, MW, SW, VHF-Low, VHF-High and UHF with a communication receiver and a scanner.

And finally, heres a great web page that gives the histories of defunct UHF TV Stations including WWOR-14 and
WNET-16:
