I grew up at the Jersey Shore--Philadelphia was the closest TV market and it was 60 miles away, so a large TV antenna with a rotor was the only way to get a good signal. My dad owned a TV repair shop for a few years in the early 1960s and installed those type of towers. He put one on the roof of a yacht club and when we had a 100 year storm (the March 1962 storm), the building was washed into the lagoon it was sitting by but the antenna still stood on the roof. Dad had a photo of that on the wall as a testament to his skill in antenna installation.</p></blockquote><p></p>
