It's hard tp believe that some areas didn't have UHF channels, until it was mandated. Milwaukee had UHF from 1953. There was a lot of UHF convertors used as many of the sets in use were rather new.
Boston had the big 4 on VHF early. Between RI, NH,Me & MA
we grabbed all but ch3.
Hartford area was all UHF except 3&8 due to being between NYC & Boston.
First successful UHF here IIRC was ch38 that the church ran then
56 & 44 in the 60's. In the 70's they sprang up like weeds.
