I never knew they built that set. It wasnt in any of the sales or service
litt.
As far as being in the sticks NTSC on VHF can easily go 200 miles. When the
Boston stations used to go off at nite all the NYC VHF's had a watchable signal at apx 200 mi. That from a low elevation with a big antenna.
Used to be common up in northern N.H. to see TV antennas on towers
just to squeeze out a few more stations, probably from PQ & in french.
With a little ducting the Boston & Portland stations probably made it over the
White Mountains also.

How many areas of this country would be so remote to be off the main lines, but still close enough to pick up television?
