slightly and is taking a risk of
inferior reception.
They would do well to learn
what engineers have known for
years: that an average set with
an excellent antenna will give
better reception than an excel
lent set with a poor antenna.

in charge of Engineering and
Research for the Channel Mas

manufacturer of TV antennas.
Very few people realize that
any television set, regardless of
cost, is only as good as the an
tenna. No TV installation can
possibly be better than the am
tenna because the antenna is the
"eye and ear" of the TV set.
Good antenna installations can
minimize and even eliminate the
two most annoying disturbances
to show up on the TV screen:
snow and "ghosts." Snow"
shows up when the TV set re-
ceives very weak signal from
the telecasting station. A more
powerful antenna reduces the
amount of "snow" by bringing
in a stronger signal.
Ghosts" are double or triple
images on the TV screen, and
they occur when the transmitted
signals have been reflected off

ing him, but you can't skin him
but once"

be some big taxpayers left to
