Yes I remember it well - we didn't have a local tv transmitter at our town.
In fact we had no local transmitter intil late 1974.
We were over 200 miles from the nearest tx. It meant having an external
aerial placed about 20 or 30 feet or more high above the house plus a high
gain aerial plus (if you could afford the extra) and rf pre-amplifier.
The very few people that did have tv sets in our town had b&w (no colour tv
then) and relied on the occasional burst of good signal propogation to see
(maybe) 5 or 10 minutes of only just watchable picture. One of our local
petrol service stations had a tv set, and watch we did - through the most
horrible "snowy" picture we just caught a glimpse of that historic moment.
