	T.V. VHF broadcasts from Egypt where received in the Tel-Aviv area.
	I don't know where the transmitter was, but we where able to get 
	4 channels: 
			Cypress
			Egypt
			Jordan
			Israel T.V.

	And since you are in MIT, I suggest you find some communication
	expert and see that it is indeed possible to receive Egyptian 
	T.V. broadcasts via the air (1967) in Tel-Aviv.
