*chuckles* I remember a time when the suburban roofline of greater San Diego was a veritable rainforest of the tallest-imaginable TV antennas. You had to have an antenna that high because far-away LA was the only available source of color television programming back then. Even so, the reception was awful more often than not. By the late '60s, the local stations started broadcasting in color, so the über-tall antennas weren't so necessary after that, but it still helped the overall quality of reception. After widespread cable service became available, tho, that heralded out the era of the sequoia antennae. Looks like that era has finally ground down to extinction in your neighborhood. Ah well... 50 years ain't a bad run.
