In July, 1988, only the VHF antenna was on the mast. I somehow convinced them that they should install a UHF antenna, so that we could watch MTV3, the commercial TV station that had just started up. That happened a couple of weeks before I was kicked out. I do remember sitting in front of a small TV and running the “scan” function to find MTV and store it as a preset — this whole business of TV stations not being on the RF channel they’re named for was totally new to me.
