- T.V. VHF broadcasts from Egypt where received in the Tel-Aviv area.
- I don't know where the transmitter was, but we where able to get
- 4 channels:
- Cypress
- Egypt
- Jordan
- Israel T.V.
-
- And since you are in MIT, I suggest you find some communication
- expert and see that it is indeed possible to receive Egyptian
- T.V. broadcasts via the air (1967) in Tel-Aviv.
