And the VHF low band old channels 2 thru 6 in usa has largely been given over to wireless services. The few digital stations assigned are low power ones. Low band analog still exists to a limited degree in Canada and is still used in Cuba and Latin America outside now all digital Mexico. To make a long story short you can still get tropo on VHF high band and UHF but the E skip happy hunting ground low band VHF has many fewer stations to chase.
