1949: (Circa 1949)WPTZ CHANNEL 3 PHILADELPHIA

BACK THEN IT WAS CHANNELS 3, 6 AND 10 AND A BIT LATER CHANNEL 12, WDEL-TV, WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. I WONDER HOW MANY VISITORS EMBIBED IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PASTIMES KNOWN AS "TVDX." I REMEMBER THE THRILL OF RECEIVING WLAN-TV (?) CHANNEL 8 IN LANCASTER, PA. i'M NOT QUITE SURE IF MY MEMORY IS CORRECT BUT I THINK THE CALL WAS WLAN. AS I RECALL I ALSO RECEIVED WMAR-TV IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND WRVA IN RICHMOND. NOT BAD FOR VERY MODEST SINGLE STACK ARRAY FACTING THE SOUTHWEST!

THANKS TO BOB BALLANTINE FOR THIS
INTRIGUING VESTIGE FROM THE PAST.
