Scott, I was wondering if anyone would remember and mention MPATI. I was going to mention it, and the airborne TV transmissions conducted by the U.S. Navy over Viet Nam, in my original message. But I cut it out at the last minute for brevity. I recall that MPATI was somehow connected to Purdue University. I remember trying repeatedly to DX their signals from my QTH in northern IL in the 60s. As I recall they were operating on 2 of the upper UHF channels, possibly 72 and 76, and were broadcasting educational content. I never did receive even a glimpse of signal from them. All of our hometown TV stations were north of us so our outdoor TV antenna did not need a rotor. Each time I tried to DX MPATI I had to physically rotate our antenna to the southeast which my parents didn't seem to appreciate.
