You brought back a fun memory. When my family moved upstate, about 125 miles north of the city, my dad was determined to watch the yankee games on channel 11, and my grandfather wanted to see his Mets.
He special ordered a massive antenna at Radio Shack. This thing disassembled was the full length of an old full size Chevy station wagon, I’m guessing 12 feet in the box and a bit longer assembled. Dad and grandpa mounted the thing to a pole that was also quite high attached to a device that would rotate the antenna.
When it was time for a game, you had to rotate the antenna to hit a specific gap in the mountains, which varied for different channels. Good times.
