The decade of the 1960s was
probably the heyday of television.
Household incomes had been steadily rising since the end of World War II
while
inflation was relatively low. The Korean War was over and until around 1965
the country was not on a serious war footing. Game shows, soap operas, shows
depicting non-dysfunctional families, variety show formats, non-woke cartoons,
movies, and newscasts that didn't insult half the country with biased coverage
fed the country's appetite for wholesome, useful entertainment. Once violent
race riots and hippie anti-establishment protests became a major threat to
safety and civic deportment, people monitored radio and television to keep
abreast of events. In accord with rapidly improving television sets were
advances in antenna technology. Viewers wanted the best possible picture and
audio, and were willing to pay dearly for it. Through around the end of the 20th
century, after which cable dominated as a transmission medium, over-the-air
broadcasts in increasingly crowded RF environments made higher performance
antennas even more necessary. Channel Master was one of the leading antenna
manufacturers of the era, and is one of the few companies still selling
traditional multi-element TV antennas.
Channel Master Antennas
 Greenberg, distinguished antenna authority,
and Chief Engineer of Channel Master's Electronic Development Laboratories.
Mr. G., take a bow!
You've put more power into the most powerful of all fringe area antennas!
New 10-Element T-W Ingeniously combines 6 of Channel Master's
famous T-W hairpin dipoles with 4 parasitic low band and co-linear high band elements.
Reaches new highs in gain and front-to-back ratios.
Strongest Mechanical Construction Hundreds of thousands of installations
over a four year period prove conclusively that the T-W is the strongest antenna
ever made.
New Low Band Director and Reflector System Increases gain up
to 2 1/2 db more than a 7·element T·W - a 78% power increase!
New High Band Co-Linear Elements Add 20% to the T·W's high band
gain. The co-linear reflector and director are each actually 3 half-wave elements
placed end to end.
Heavy-duty Weatherproof Harness Won't let rain or salt air impede
reception.

"Best of All Contact Sprays"
As Reported by Independent Product-Testing Laboratory
TABLE HERE
*Not tested further following sub-standard performance in 30-second exposure
**Presence of solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Channel Master introduces the first triple-action spray!
Channel Master set out to provide a superior cleaner, lubricant, and protector
for electrical contacts. Contact Shield was the result.
To verify our own estimates of the product's effectiveness, Contact Shield was
submitted to a nationally known independent testing laboratory.
This famous testing organization made a thorough study of Contact Shield, as
well as of nine similar products on the market. The above findings demonstrate conclusively
that this new Channel Master product is the most reliable contact spray you can
buy!
Here's why
Contact Shield is best:
• provides the most long-lasting protection
• eliminates background and resistance noises
•is safer. Will not ignite, flash, or cause short circuits ... propellant
is actually a fire extinguisher
• contains no solvents to attack plastics
• performs at temperatures from - 95°F. to + 320°F.
