Some folks called antennas “aerials.” If you were really high-tech, your aerial had an electric motor which would turn it toward that distant signal. The motor was connected to a “rotor” device that sat on top of the TV and controlled the turning and pointing. SW to Albany, northwest to Columbus, north to Macon. East? Nothing.
