VHF in the RFD, 1976

VHF in the RFD, 1976

The television antenna was in the back of the house. You would leave a window open so the person inside the house could yell, "Better... worse," until you got the best reception of the three to six stations you could pick up. It would be just a little longer before we could purchase a VCR and watch rental movies or record broadcast television shows.
Photographed on Kodachrome film using the Sears camera.
(For younger viewers, VHF was the TV frequency, and RFD referred to the mail service, Rural Free Delivery.)
