As it relates to then-WNHT-TV of Concord, NH: I used to get a weak signal which was faint, snowy and in color a couple of nights a week. I lived in Old Orchard Beach, ME, which is in York County, but at the opposite end that bordered on New Hampshire (go up the coast to Scarborough and you'd be in Cumberland County). I never did get then-WNDS-TV of Derry, NH. I only had an Archer indoor antenna from Radio Shack to use then (1985 to 1987).
