Was my "cable" TV back in the day.
I'd be watching new distant stations and spinning the VFO at the same time.

I hooked a TV up to my six element 6m yagi and went looking for stations on ch 2 as we had no locals on air on ch 2. I was picking up several stations great depending on the beam heading. Pretty cool to see a TV station in Ottawa and then have it fade out an another from Chicgaco come in as the beam is rotated and then yet another from New York. Then I came to my senses and unhooked the TV and connected the antenna to my 6m radio.
I remember them well. in fact I still have one. A buddy brought me one over from the UK. It was modded for 10m and was my first mobile 10m FM radio. I had an IC-735 in the house but I installed the DNT CB40FM in the car for a little FM fun. I left the Hi-LO switch as it was but used the DX-LOC switch to give me more channels so it covered from about 28.900-29.700 MHz.
