I would imagine that at that distance (about 3 miles, by my estimation)
the difficulty would be trying to avoid Mrs Emley Moor deafening you. I
bet you could pick up the broadcasts with nothing plugged in the aerial
socket ;-) We used to live in Wakefield and I remember we had a set of
about 10 attenuators daisy-chained together between the aerial lead from
the wall socket and the one to the TV.

I remember ITV setting up a transmitter about a mile away [1] in direct
line of sight, in the 1960s. I'd have been about 14. It swamped
everything. I made and tuned my own attenuator.
