We built the antenna just beyond here.  We strung wire up in the trees in a rhombus shape (acute parallelogram) and then ran 2-wire TV cable down to the house.

It was an arduous task. Dad tied all the tools, wire, insulators, etc. to an 18-20' ladder, which we had to drag up this steep hill. Since I was his principle Gofer, if anything happened to be missing, I would have to climb back down and retrieve it and then hoof it back up (about a 200' climb).  Often we would have to repair it after storms.  Eventually, a conventional TV antenna was installed probably very near where Mom and Mark are standing.

Back then we only got 2 channels, WFBG Altoona (channel 10) and WJAC Johnstown (channel 6). You didn't need a remote! For an example of the shows we got, one of my favorites was The Life of Riley". Reception wasn't the greatest.
