That's certainly been my experience with the new, improved Antennaweb.
The original one seemed far more accurate.

Although others, like Dale, think it's still too optimistic. The only
conclusion I can draw is that the Longley-Rice model is also not
perfect.


Longley-Rice, at least the public domain version I used,
it really amazingly good for where I live. It accurately predicts the
relative signal levels. It correctly, for example, predicts that
my 68 mile away station should be reliable, and it is.
