Hi.
When we moved into an apartment in Ithaca, NY, my mother had ordered cable
for our apartment when we moved in. Noticing that I was seeing more cable
leakage on 2 meters than I had ever seen in my entire time on ham radio, I
raised the dipoles on the TV and discovered usable signals on all of the
VHF channels except for 13. When the cable guy arrived to install the
cable, I was sitting there watching WPIX in New York (probably about 275
miles away), and his jaw just about hit the floor!
