What is the most distant TV signal you ever tuned in using a conventional antenna? In 1984 in suburban Boston I picked up channel 3 out of Tampa/St. Petersburg on a portable TV using rabbit ears. It was around 6 o'clock in the evening and was carrying PBS' Nightly Business Report. I thought at first it was just channel 2 in Boston which is also PBS coming in on channel 3. But when the ran the station ID I was amazed to see it was out of Tampa! The signal was pretty snowy but clear enough to read the cities of license on the ID slide. I lost the signal after about fifteen minutes. Also I sent a reception report to the station and received back a nice letter from the chief engineer confirming my reception!Does anyone have a similar story about TV reception?
