Here in N. Dakota, people routinely picked up analog TV 100 miles from the transmitters. Not anymore. Now, I can’t get two out of the five Fargo stations—and I live in Fargo.

Heh, in the summer, when the cloud and atmospheric conditions were just right, I used to get analogue signals bouncing in for a few lucky hours in Ohio from as far away as Denver, Texas, and one station with a huge transmitter in one of the Dakotas. That was fun back in the days when stations clearly identified themselves every 30 minutes.
