What I meant, was when I'm up late here, there doesn't seem to be as much variety as I used to get in Texas during the mid 70's (which is where I was and when I used to listen). One thing I'm interested in is how various locations in the Bay Area do with receptions. I live in Cupertino, not far from the coastal range, I wonder how the folks do in the east bay for example which should see the coastal range as less of a barrier. Also someone in Santa Cruz or San Francisco on a hill with an unobstructed path to the Pacific would appear to me to be in a better location.
