   Greetings TOM!   
      
    EV>> I just remembered I bought a WineGuard TV antenna from my boss when   
    EV>> He Retired as Lockmaster at first Lock and Dam I worked at. That was   
    EV>> probably 1969 or 1970 but I didn't use it until sometime after 1974   
    EV>> when I moved to the city where I could get a TV Signal. That   
    EV>> WineGuard TV Antenna had VHF and UHF and now that I think about it,   
    EV>> I'd guess it is a Log Periodic Antenna, I never thought of it that   
    EV>> way when I first started commenting about LPA TV antenna to You, I   
    EV>> apologize for continuing this lenghty discussion about them.   
      
    TW> I stil have one of those on the roof feeding a TV by the wifes sewing   
    TW> machine and where she does the Ironing. Because of my location since   
    TW> the TV stations went Digital it only picks up Ch 8 and 10.   
      
   That's interesting. Channel 8 broadcasts from Mt Solidad in La Jolla and   
   Channel 10 broadcasts from Mt San Miguel south of La Mesa. Did one of them   
   move transmitter locations?   
      
    TW> I have a "round toit" to run a coax hoked up to my Cox Basic Cable   
    TW> feed.   
      
   Cox cable is still in business?   
      
       Have a day!

   Being judged by McJerkey doesn't define who I am, it defines who he is.
