<div>That must have been a very risky proposition during the summertime, given that Channel 2 is the VHF station most likely to suffer from tropo interference. I wonder what they did as a backup if the signal had degraded to non-broadcast quality?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The station I worked at the mid-80s, WGGB in Springfield, MA, used to carry a candlepin bowling show live on Saturdays from an off-air VHF tuner at their transmitter on Mt. Tom in Holyoke, MA, that was sent back to the station on a microwave hop. The feed was from Channel 5 WCVB in Boston, 100 miles away. When the off-air feed was degraded due to tropo, the station would run a back-up tape (off quad or 3/4", depending on what blank stock was lying around) of a previous week's match. Such are the operations at smaller stations, where every penny is counted, and every corner cut! </div>
