Chuck, you are a true clairvoyant! My dad was a TV repairman, so he had
these crystal, non-powered phone handsets that he would use to go between
the person tuning the antenna on the roof and the one 4 stories down
watching the picture. (You'd never use walkie-talkies as they might
interfere with the picture during this critical process.) Of course, for
the home antenna, I'd be the ground person. And the conversation would go,
"How about now... Now... What do you mean it was better before!!!"
