Hi, Jim.
Didn't look up your QTH, but there is another possible answer.
I live in Central Oregon. We don't have a house TV connected to an
antenna, I went out to the 5th wheel trailer yesterday to see what
analog TV was still available to us and discovered more than a dozen
were still on the air. They were all signals from either repeaters or
translators located on a mountain to the East of us. The FCC did not
require any repeaters/translators to go to digital. So some of the
signals you are noticing may be from this source.
None of the analog TV signals I found were on VHF, however.
