I would be shocked if the transmitter went further than 35ft. It's a little consumer grade deal with a 3ft telescopic antenna. Is harmless! 😀

BTW, I like very much those transistor B/W TV Sets, I have some on them that would like to restore
some of these days!
I'm used to working on older tube radios and used to work on TVs in the late 90s/early 2000s. Safety precautions are always in force.
I remember seeing little cheap B&W sets like these as late as 1994-1996. Even then, I remember seeing a little 12 or 13" B&W set on the wall of TVs in Wal-Mart and being shocked they still sold them (for like 80 Canadian pesos if I'm not mistaken).
