Three things that would go together very well here:

1) A DeLorean

2) A flux capacitor

3) Mirena

I thought he was supposed to say "This is London" at the beginning :)

So glad to see some other people out there love station wagons as much as I do.

I grew up with a '68 Country Squire, a '68 VW Type 3 (*"square back"), a '69 Mercury Montego, and a '75 Custom 500. My OWN first new car was an '88 Escort Wagon,

It's so sad they were legislated out of existence.

How many people would agree with me if I said this was THE FIRST HARD ROCK track. Those driving guitars, the screeching Vox Continental, the deep blues vocal.....in 1964, it must of sounded like it was from Mars!

Cool, and nice to hear F2 again

Covington, VA has a road like the one mentioned on 39.500,

Your two clips with a call sign in Morse are transposed

Sounds like you are playing a 33 1/3 rpm record at 45 rpm - Does the record label actually say 45 rpm?

@TashkentFox

Not a law that ALL digital converters have an RF modulator, but close.

Most US converter boxes were designed to be "coupon eligible", as the US government provided millions of converter box coupons for a $40 (USD) discount on eligible boxes.

For a box to be coupon eligible, sev...

@metalmanin

My 24MC32, which I just acquired, and looks a lot like this one, has the 6J10.

@MultiBudBoy

VCR's in US/Canada almost always have RF ch3/ch4 output. An ubiquitous 75/300 ohm adapter and you're up and running.

DVD? You'll do the same thing, but you'll also need an RF modulator (just as you would need with a 1990's color TV), about $ 15 at most stores that sell electronics.

One important thing to notice was the strong "ghosting" in the analog picture before the shutoff - caused by multipath, signals bouncing off of structures or hills, much the same way your voice bouncing off a wall will cause an echo. This, quite often, KILLS digital TV reception

Love seeing that "CW" bug flickering at just about 1Hz under WJBK, just as I saw hundreds of times when KCWX would interfere with WJBK up my way!

Thanks for posting this. I knew Warrendale was not what it used to be, but I didn't know it was this bad (viewers still note - south of Warren ave, intact houses outnumber damaged ones).

We looked at Warrendale houses for us in 1991, but decided on a house in Parkland (across Rouge Park) in ...

0:54 Legal! (Brazilian Portuguese slang "Cool!")

And, for a while, SOLID at that.

WOW!

Great tutorial!

One important that might not be obvious to those new to peel-apart Polaroids:

The film speed selector switch (on this camera, above the lens) must be set to agree with the film. "75" ("COLOR" on older cameras) for FP-100b or FP-100c, "3000" ("B&W") for FP-3000B.

Nice. If Hepburn is correct, Santa Marta is the only one. I've seen them twice - though nowhere near as well as you have it here.

I toured the Faygo plant with school in 1976. At the end of the tour, we each got one can of pop (our choice) and a 45-RPM record with this jingle on one side and the a full-length folk guitar version of the song as it was before "that's why we remember" was replaced with "....make Faygo". I ...

@franradiotv

I note my own error - should have said Uruguay where I said Chile (they use NTSC-M)

Muito Abrigado e bom DX a voce!

If this was from when there was a DDR, would not the station ID itself as being from Karl-Marx-Stadt, rather then the historic, and again current, name of Chemnitz?

@MiracleMileV8: In the USA, since 2007, DST begins in the Winter. Specifically, on the second Sunday in March - never later than March 14. The Vernal Equinox is usually on March 20 and never earlier than March 18.

In parts of Canada and Alaska, daylight does not end on a daily basis at all in...

Too bad the telephone number at 0:55 is displayed so briefly - I might have been able to make it out if it were there longer

With so much multipath, I'm still lost, even with the number so large.

It might be "38430140000" (with area code - it would be Minas Gerais state - but not near Belo Horiz...

"what's going on with the sun, because there is no e-skip in 50MHz"?

Comparing sporadic-E to TEP (or F2) is like comparing apples to oranges. Wait till mid-May. Around then, 50MHz should light up with sporadic-E - sunspots or not.

Bonzer!

This is great - takes me back to my early childhood, the announcers sounded different (I would say better) back then, and the ads has a more optimistic tone.

Some things I noted:

-At 0:43 - it sounds like they censored a claim about that TV set and replaced it with something else!

-12/7/70 was a...

Scratch WCMH (too close for Es and digital ch14 only by then), and scratch France (you would not hear the sound on an American set)

You seem to have two French language stations fighting it out.

At about 0:25, I think I see the CBC/SRC logo (there are no strong SRC stations on 4, this was likel...

WLO is a marine coastal ("ship-to-shore") station in Mobile, Alabama, one of few left (they had been all over the place before INMARSAT came along.

I'm assuming that the "screech" sounds are packets of medium-speed data

@MattExzy I think the "strange sounds" he is referring to are those people speaking Spanish in SSB synchronized to the WWV carrier.

The beeps are most likely from RWM, the Russian time signal, which, during certain minutes, sends a short CW pulse every second on 9996kHz

The camera op panned on that far newer glass skyscraper so many times I was expecting to see that one go down

@pegbars

Not only that, "Let's All Go to the Lobby" has found its way into the US National Film Registry.

@JFredUK By about 1952, most monochrome TVs in the USA had CRTs shaped like this one - what the industry would come to call a "pregnant rectangle" (I believe most UK monochrome sets had rectangular sets by the mid 50's, too). When this set was made, about 1958, only colo(u)r sets were still bei...

0:15 - That little car actually does have plenty of acceleration at the bottom end!

@drh4683

Second that comment, 1966 would be dead on, certainly no more that one year earlier nor later.

@bowhunter928

Wow, until you pointed this out, I has assumed that the video had been sped-up for brevity, but Moore was running that fast!

Almost scary: Usain Bolt ran about that distance about 3 seconds faster!
