Ah yes, wikipedia basically stealing my stuff and not even saying
thank you. Here's the article I wrote about W1XAY and it's quite
thorough. (And yes, 1928 TV was very experimental and the picture
quality would indeed have been awful. That is why many critics saw
no future in it at that time-- GE was also experimenting with TV and
their first broadcast was so bad the critics complained it was
unwatchable...http://www.tvhistory.tv/W1XAY.htm
