Re: How good were 1950's/1960's Band 1 TV receivers?

So, does anyone know how easy/hard it would have been to receive Holme
Moss in Lancaster or Liverpool or Lincoln around 1960? Did they have
to put up 10 element aerials with pre-amps?



A 10 element array for Ch 2 would be quite a sight!
Here, about 3 miles due North of Manchester BBC
Holme Moss was receivable with the proverbial wet piece of string
there is a three element Yagi to this day near here,
I wondered if they were ripped off when it was installed,
When I mentioned this on another occasion Bill Wright
suspected it might have been installed prior to Oct 1951
and may have originally been receiving Sutton Coldfield
on CH4.

Another interesting fact about this part of the world is
that from the mid 60s, BBCtv was broadcast from
Winter Hill on CH12,

Why did they do that?...


Surely 't moss covered everything north of Watford and beyond;?...
