Well, when I TV DX, what little time I have to do it with, I use a circa 1966 Sony B&W portable TV, I did get a channel 24 in Indiana once, I have a friend who grew up in Muncie and told me it was the local station he used to watch as a kid. I also have a 1998 Zenith 19" color hooked up to a set of 1959 "Rembrandt" rabbit ears my parents got when they were married that year.
I usually get the Cleveland TV station on the VHF bands and can get Akron on UHF along with Morgantown, WV if things are going my way. The Sony has similar performance too.
I once went to Wooster, Ohio to see a friend, on the way back, I had me scanner and picked up my local cops on 460.050 Mc as far away as Canton/Akron and I joked, "I hope we don't hear the cops called to an emergency next door," five minutes later, it happened. I have to watch my mouth at times, sometimes I say thing, then they happen.
