Thank you for upload, liked it a lot. I was into this same TV-DX hobby and this brings back golden alalog memories. Rare to see these, I have to check back my old VHS-recordings too. Thank you!
This is Tokyo. In Japan, when you think of TV-DX, you only think of China and Korea. Sometimes the DPRK and the Soviet Union. Japan is an NTSC country, so you can't watch foreign stations in color. The number of scanning lines was also different. Japan is an island country in the Far East.
Sweet compilation of well known Danish transmitter testcards. Visited three of them and received some others as well. Do you know the ZDF and Sverige TV2 sites?
TV2 Sverige was probably Gothenburg with co-channel interference from Hedensted. ZDF was probably Kiel or Bungsberg, those were the most common transmitters to receive here.
@@testcardsandmore1231 Yes, Gothenborg was your local TX an Kiel mentioned more often. The Kiel tower apparently has an exact brother at Münster city which is within my reach. The Bungsberg site is new to me, never noticed that name before. Geographically it is most close to you? (not accounting east Germany).
@@dvb-tcombiner6151 Flensburg, Kiel and Bungsberg/Eutin are all pretty much the same distance. Between 300 and 330 kilometers. Halmstad and Varberg are my local transmitters. The distance to the Gothenburg transmitter is about 95 kilometers which was just a little bit too far away for perfect, noise free, picture.
@@testcardsandmore1231 Looking in the WRTH radio handbook of 1992 that would have been channel 30 and 10 kW ERP. Can you identify the strong co channel interference? Biggest chance Denmark I guess. It's been a long time I was in Helsinborg with my brother who lives in Sweden. There was a castle o a high point but I don't know if that is a transmitter site? Perhaps you have a link with photo of the TX? From what I remember Sweden was only present at one tropo event over here. Norway has been more often but mainly Band 3. There was only one Norway UHF reception so that equals Sweden in chance.
I don't think Yugoslav TV was in 1989. The language is indeed Serbian, but it's using the Latin alphabet. Since the mid to late 80s SR Serbia was really shoving Cyrillic everywhere they could, even on programs that were broadcast on other republic's TV stations, which caused an outrage in the republics that used the Latin alphabet.
That's the way it was in the 80's. TV stations in these countries didn't have programming 24/7 until several years later. Swedish TV2 actually still doesn't broadcast around the clock.
@@testcardsandmore1231 Interestingly, in Italy 24/7 programming was already a thing on various private stations, such as Mediaset's TV stations and various regional TV stations (curiously, these regional TV stations would fill their schedules with anime and softcore porn).

I've reconsidered and now i think the Swedish TV2 testcard was from Helsingborg. My aerial was mostly pointing to the south so that makes more sense.

Was the DR testcard recorded from a VHF or UHF channel?
Most likely UHF channel 31 from Copenhagen transmitter.

So what could it be instead?
@@testcardsandmore1231 It's most likely still Serbia from Kopaonik, but more likely from the mid 80s instead of 1989.
@@fungo6631 it's 1989, I know that for sure. I recorded it myself and we didn't have a VCR until Christmas 1988.
@@testcardsandmore1231 Perhaps it was from Serbia then, but maybe a rerun from before. Family Ties is from the early 80s.
@@fungo6631 yes but it must be from the second half of the 80's since Mallory's boyfriend Nick is there.
Why SVT2 Sweden,TV2 Denmark,DR,ZDF Was Testcard at noon day?
That's the way it was in the 80's. TV stations in these countries didn't have programming 24/7 until several years later. Swedish TV2 actually still doesn't broadcast around the clock.
when is the broadcast schedule in on?
