 I grew up with Channel 6. 10 and 13 were late comers and then there was
the newfangled stuff that needed a converted box. The home grown TV shows
were fun.

   Some of the stuff on the local UHF stations
   was bizarre and fun as hell  :-)
   I grew up with 2.5 TV stations ... the 0.5
   was more distant and only came in OK if the

   Hmm ... when Ted Turner was getting into the

   called "Uncle Hubie's Farm" kinda custom made
   for the pot-heads, oft just surreal  :-)
