Antennas
1946-49 Antennas
After the war, stations broadcast with higher power, but until the mid 50s there were many areas of the country with poor television service. Large outdoor antennas were often needed.
Here are some early antennas from the late 40s, when channel one was still in use

Early Philco Antenna This antenna is cut for channel 3. It appears in a 1946 Philco publication, "The Servicing of Television Receivers", which contains mostly information on and pictures from TV sets made before World War Two. This antenna could have been made before, during, or immediately after the war. It was donated to the museum by Chuck Azzalina.
