The most popular UHF antenna was a corner reflector bowtie or a flat bowtie (not 4 bay). There are many 65+ Y.O. UHF antennas still on rooftops as part of the original installation, not added later on mast below the VHF antenna. https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...t=0&ajaxserp=0

BTW, I did not realize, until I read your post, that your area only had one VHF TV station in the '60s-'70s. That part of the state of Pennsylvania must have been "in the middle of nowhere" as far as TV reception was concerned in those days, with little or no programming available on TV, even from Erie or whatever city was closest to your area at the time. Erie only had one VHF station, WICU-TV (NBC) channel 12, for years until channel 24 (WJET-TV, ABC) and channel 35 (WSEE-TV, CBS), not to mention WQLN-TV (PBS, then NET) channel 54, arrived in the city. I can remember actually seeing WICU-TV's programming in northeastern Ohio during VHF band openings in the late '60s-early '70s, when I lived in a Cleveland suburb. The station, being an NBC affiliate, practically duplicated the programming of Cleveland's NBC station, WKYC-TV on channel 3; channels 24 and 35 in Erie likely duplicated the programming of our channels 5 and 8, ABC and (at the time) CBS (this was, of course, before that big TV network swap in Cleveland between channel 8 and channel 19, where 8 took Fox and 19 took CBS in the mid-1990s, IIRC).
