HDTV101 did you photoshop that ? :D

The framing of the picture looks like the same as stampeder.

Nice job.

HOAX!!! I hope! :D It looks like a little old lady a few km away looked outside in her back yard and saw that she has a new barbecue grille with weiner holders on it. Some guy's windshield has a big gray motor thingy sticking in it too!

I just used simple MS Paint Brush :p

hahahaha - actually she held up really well - no bend and i watched it in the wind - didn't sway as much as I thought it would.... still going strong for those of you wondering... the mast above the rotator is about 4'x1-1/4" and below the rotator it is about 5'x1-1/2".

Hey Yaamon, Pearson Airport called, they want their array back! How's your Chicago reception these days? ;)

I'm sure with the warm weather in spring Yaamon should be getting some Dallas TX stations as well.

When I first saw this photo above I thought it was real for a second. Stacking antennas can be done to increase gain.

Here is a guy that made an FM antenna array:http://users.tns.net/~bb/korn4.jpg

This guy went really crazy and stacked 9 antennas on his tower! He says he gets FM radio from all over the world with his massive antenna system.

Heh, the original bowtie was a cone. So that looks like an 8 X 32 bowtie array gone wild.

Believe it or Not: Recording of live BBC high-definition (?) TV in 1938 :o

Quoting from the web page listed below:
Andrew Emmerson, the British enthusiast, spent five years tracking down the recording and believes it is the only surviving example of pre-war live high-definition British television.

Back sometime in 1938, a guy in the UK, set his movie camera in front of his "tele" and captured some short duration footage of some BBC 1938 tv broadcasts. There are two clips to take a look at... you need "Real Media" player or "Real Alternative" to view them.

Boy those chaps at the BBC back in '38, were way ahead of their time with their high-definition tv ... looks almost as good as the wnpi digital station that I currently cannot receive :p

Well I really shouldn't poke fun, early tv was true magic !! I assume this 1938 BBC transmission predates PAL. Anyone know what number of interlaced scanning lines was used in 1938, by the BBC ?

In Britain Isaac Shoenberg used Zworykin's idea to develop Marconi-EMI's own Emitron tube, which formed the heart of the cameras they designed for the BBC. Using this, on November 2, 1936 a 405 line service was started from studios at Alexandra Palace, and transmitted from a specially-built mast atop one of the Victorian building's towers; it alternated for a short time with Baird's mechanical system in adjoining studios, but was more reliable and visibly superior. So began the world's first high-definition regular service. The mast is still in use today.

The BBC's first trials were with John Baird's 30 line electro-mechanical system in 1932. He had transmitted a colour television signal in July 1928, and transmitted a signal across the Atlantic also in 1928.
The alternating trials mentioned by Dr.Dave above were conducted on a weekly basis - talk about confusing for the receiving equipment - until the all electronic Marconi system was selected in Feb. 1937.

I'm thinking of making a Youtube video of how to make one of my old TV antennas into a coat hanger! :D

Good one. :p

Thats actually better than vice versa, heh.

If i had an antenna like that at my place, it may last the first snow flurry, after that it would probably end up on the ground. He,He.

Post the link (if allowed) once you do! Seriously! :)

My previous post in this thread went AWOL. So, I wonder if this one will, too?

EDIT: apparently not! Now if only this thread would stop showing up as "unread" day after day..
