I live less than a mile from the largest antenna farm of terrestrial stations on the west coast of Florida. I believe there are no less than 60 licensed channels transmitting at the site, based on the work I used to do there in my previous career:
http://antennaweb.org/Stations?Address=Valrico%2C%20FL%2033596%2C%20United%20States&AntennaHeight=False&Latitude=27.8825312&Longitude=-82.2474648 In other words, I can get most of these stations in my fillings. All jokes aside, I have a homemade bow tie dipole antenna in the closet of my home office that's connected to a TV card in my Mac. I can watch all sorts of good programming for free on my cheesegrater. I would cut the cord in a split second, but the spouse is a hard core TV addict and insists on having hundreds of channels at her beck and call. Ain't gonna happen. -D > On Aug 10, 2017, at 10:29 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Robert Conrad, Wild Wild West.
