1. Around 1979 or so, living in Western Mass. I picked up WBAY-TV Green Bay WI on channel 2 clear enough to watch and get the ID. Quasar 14" portable color TV with built-in rabbit ears.
2. In 1982 I was living in New Brunswick, Canada, and one evening got a whole ton of FM stations that were clustered around St. Louis for about 20 minutes. Technics SA-222 receiver with a twin-lead FM dipole.
3. Again in New Brunswick, listening to the space shuttle directly as it flew overhead. Panasonic RF-2200 with an ±80 foot wire antenna.
4. ±1988, living in Niagara Falls ON, two solid hours of Detroit UHF TV clear enough to watch. Toshiba 19" color TV with rabbit ears.
5. Until 2003 or so, living in Western Mass. meant analog springtime DXing from Florida, with WJXT in Jacksonville coming in most often, like clockwork on hot days, well enough to ID through windowblinding. GE 25" CTC-177a with amplified RatShack VU-75 roof antenna (yes, the same TV as in my sig).
