Yep, that's from before the FCC realized how hellaciously short-spaced
that would have made nearly everything in the northeast.  Then
Providence moved 11 to 10 and added 12, New Haven moved 6 to 8, New
Bedford got 6, Albany 4 moved to 6, Utica 3 moved to 2 and 13
moved to 4 (never built), and that whole cascade of changes in Western
NY that eventually put Syracuse on 3, 5, and 9, Rochester on 8, 10,
and 13, and Toronto on 5 and 9.
