Occasionally, a very faint signals on channels 6 & 8 could be (barely) seen, but the only sound would be white noise.
I remember one time I got channel 13 to tune in quite clearly, but it must have been due to the atmospheric conditions, as it was something that I was unable to do again. (And the fact channel 13 was not listed in the local TV Guide meant I had no idea where it was located.)

When I got a house I got the biggest antenna a Jerrold VU937 IIRC.
Was over 20' long. Could get either CH 8, CH 6 Portland or New Bedford,
CH 13 Portland & 26 Saco. At nite when everyone was off all the
NYC VHF stations were watchable. On a good night even Philly.
Wish I were up higher, could done much better especially on UHF.
