Viewing British TV in Holland, 1964

1964JunRadioConstructorSixty years ago, British television had at least one viewer in Holland, namely, Jan Adama, PA0FB of the Hague. He tuned in to British telecasts with an antenna 45 feet above ground level. For UHF, he used a 52 element antenna, and a German UHF converter.

Since the British television signal had the audio modulation on a different frequency than used by his continental TV, he used an external Hallicrafters receiver connected to the IF stage of the TV.

The article above is from the June 1964 issue of Radio Constructor.
