Okay, that's what I had originally, but they started dropping off.

Someone else mentioned it to me and said that the OTA signals were
coming back, as if it were required, and a person they knew with
an antenna was getting 10 or 12 stations, but likely down closer
to Toronto. I have my doubts you or I would have much luck these
days but I could bewrong if it's coming back. I should try some
rabbit ears on my old TV..   B)
