Just like early electrical engineering books that explained the

is a wealth of early electronics books.

Yep.

I downloaded a mess of those (mostly radio books) a few years ago and
amd sloooowly going through them. What's interesting to me is that
the origins or reasons behind various modern technical decisions and
standards can be found in the old books.

However, I doubt any of this will help deal with the current OTA TV
reception problem. I'm not getting any response from CaptainVideo so
I guess I'll drop the project for now.
