I was able to receive as many as 3 stations at any one time on any one channel from 2 - 6 analog by just turning the antenna rotor.
The furthest was a toss up between a station in Detroit Mich and Boston Mass.
Several stations from West Virginia and Ohio also came in that morning.
In Pennsylvania that was a one time occurrence and will never happen again in my lifetime.
All stations had a semi clear - watchable picture and clear analog signal.

I watched it also from Florida. There was a strong E-Skip that day that could not have happened at a better time to see what several of us saw. In Florida that day as locals shut off, we were seeing stuff out of the mid west on low band analog.
