My sister was talking about trying to pull in channel 9409 for a quilting show (???) Channel 9409!! Who would have thunk it? I remember tweaking the old B&W TV to pull in Casper the Friendly Ghost on Channel 12 out of Bellingham, because it was the only cartoon available on Sunday afternoon, ( I always thought Casper was kind of a pantywaist. But it beats "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom".) I think I had to tune a UHF channel to get it too.
Here's something fun; try to get the kid at Best Buy to show you how to tune in a UHF channel on one of thier new fangled flattened dig-it-all TV sets.
I remember looking up the street when I was a kid to see a menagerie of oddly shaped, multi-level copper and steel roof antennas, it seemed to bring the neighborhood together. Chances are, your neighbor was watching the same show as you, it was a common bond. Now even the commercials are boring, the car salesmen don't even sledge-hammer their cars anymore. It's a crying shame.
