I live in a place that is substantially worse, signal wise, than much of
the US. For example, there are numerous high-rise buildings within
three miles. Also, one station is shielded from me by a nearby hill.
Numerous other are shielded from me by a thing called the Earth, with
as much as a pile of dirt up to 350 feet high and 18 miles long.
All work fine. This is a typical situation, or worse, than all of Illinois.
