retransmission or? </div>

<div><br></div>Ed,<br><br>Here is an OTA recording made in 1974 from a
University in Texas. The record machine was a VR-7800 in high-band. The
receiving antenna was about 40 miles from the transmitter. Off air reception
was not the best via a Conrac vacuum tube tuner. The TV station was
running RCA TK-44A's.</font></blockquote><blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: blue
