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

Cool pictures.
I used to DX a lot of TV. I started back in the mid-80s through the mid-90s with a mid 60s Zenith b/w I got from my grandfather, I had one TV antenna ontop of one of the sheds, an FM only antenna ontop of the chimney, an another tv antenna in the attic. Eventually I got a few more sets, late 60s RCA b/w, and a mid 70s Zenith 12" b/w ss portable, but the old Zenith was still the best for DX. With that FM antenna ontop of chimney (which was the highest of the 3 antennas) I could usually pull in ch 3 and ch 6 from Sacramento at night (we were in San Jose). Since I got back into TVs in the past few years, living in apartments I've been unable to put up a good antenna. I'm not sure yet whether I'll eventually get into digital TV DX or not. I've heard that you can still pull in distant stations with the converters, but somehow, if it's not actually an old set that's receiveing the signals, I loose interest. I read somewhere, although I don't know if it's true or not, that some uhf stations might not have to switch to digital. I hope that's the case.
