Wow, thank you for saving these videos - I always wondered what became of oldfldxer's channel. There are some amazing DX catches on this clip!

Wow! Getting KATC, WMAZ, WMBB, KWKT and WALA in St Pete? I assume WEDU, WTVT, WTOG, and WTSP were off the air at that time of the recording.

Channel 6 WCIX, Miami, is now Channel 4 WFOR. WTVJ, which had been on channel 4, is now Channel 6. This occurred during one of the "Big Switches", which take place occasionally in Florida. WCIX/WFOR is a CBS O&O station and WTVJ is an NBC O&O station.

I grew up in rural MS, and remember a lot of these. I used to get the UHF stations at night during tropo ducting. The VHF-Lo stations I’d often get with sporadic-E.
WXTV-41 in Patterson, NJ also used that ID slide pattern of KWEX. Caught them once in VA.

It seemed a bit out of date for 1989, perhaps they didn't have the cash

The KAVU catch is from January 17, 1989

Impressive distances for UHF, I presume most of those stations were not on VHF channels, as VHF TV DX was and is mostly ionospheric sporadic E and not so much tropospheric refractive propagation.
