Growing up in Dublin with just one RTE channel until cable arrived (some neighbours had big Band I VHF aerials on tall stayed masts for BBC Wales and HTV), when there was freaky hot weather we would sometimes receive Scottish Television or Border Television via Tropospheric Ducting or Sporadic E propogation. It nearly ruined the 1972 Summer Olympics from Munich (but something more serious ruined that anyway).

I watched the Apollo 11 moon landing in 405 lines of glorious monochrome. Yes, we had black AND white in 1969. Luxury!
