Hi OM,

Those transmitters in NY and Canada were also on mountains.

Is my theory correct about the wire?

Seems unlikely. If anything, the quality would have been worse in
"the good ol' days."

True it probably wasn't as good as I remember it, after all the picture
was black and white, and I settled for less back then.

Even now when I watch video tapes I recorded twenty years ago, before
cable. I could not believe I settled for that kind of reception.

But I do remember getting a strong signal from stations far away, the
only time I get that now is when there is a thunderstorm in the area.

I have had cable since 1990, Iove the technology of tv, not
necessarily the programming that is on it, that is why am messing
around with antennas and so on.

I primarily use it for fm and back up if cable goes off.
