Re: AM Civil Defense pre-1963

I remember my first car, a 1963 Buick Lesabre, had both frequencies highlighted on the radio's window.

Re: WJBK signal strength?

For me from Jackson, I rarely get WJBK this time of year. WADL is much more difficult to receive than WJBK. I rarely get WOOD-TV also.

Was the original Tony's somewhere on the south side of Saginaw?? I'm talking mid 1960's. I seem to remember it was in a residential neighborhood.
I was told the original one was in St. Louis (MI) on M-46. It has been a few years since I have driven by and it was still there at that time.

The story of Battle Creek television history

I found this article in The Battle Creek Shopper to be interesting:

https://www.thebattlecreekshopper.com/ starts on page 26.

This is in the October 26 edition. After this week, you will have to read in in the Past Papers section.

Re: Jackson area OTA

The tower is up! It's 80' and the antenna is roughly 10' higher. I'm getting most of the Detroit stations, but it varies on each of the TVs. Channel 38 comes in but is unwatchable 90% of the time. Channel 2 is the next most difficult to pull in. From Lansing I'm getting low power 29. According to th...

Re: Jackson area OTA

I can only pull in the Lansing/Jackson area stations with the equipment I have. I've been in touch with Antenna Men about putting up a 100' tower. According to the the grid they provided me with, I might get some of the Kalamazoo/Grand Rapids stations, but not Detroit/Toledo.

Re: Advice Needed

Another option is to buy an adapter for your VGA plug that plugs into a USB port on your computer. Many computers currently sold no longer have a VGA port (replaced by HDMI) and this adapter solves that problem for those that do not wish to buy another monitor. As for me, I would buy a TV at a thrif...
