         I can be sure. One station I know is between
         70 and 85 miles from the nearest NWS station.
         We've been on the roof, used RF amps, and
         cannot get a usable signal.

         An interesting idea.  I managed to find
         them a different station from the LP-2
         which put no signal out there, but held
         off the dish thus far, since they'd need
         a dedicated receiver and monthly fee
         for it....
