[TowerTalk] TV Reception

[k]

I remember when visited Fred at his QTH back in 1987. For a YU guy, with
availability of 3 (three) different TV stations at home, I was faced with
Fred's TV system - a cable, and a large dish with cca 230+ various stations.
It took me few hours to check them ALL, browsing each for just several
seconds... And there he is - NOT satisfied, but wants MORE TV !!! Do NOT let
him!
