Hi
I live in Cranston just north of RI mall off route 5 and I am curious as to why the Lincoln FD (154.160) comes in weak most of the time. I am using a discone mounted up about 20' and also a homebrew 1/2 wave dipole cut for vhf. up about 20'. I have a pretty clear shot from my antenna north/south and I am south of Lincoln. I have hills (east/west) of me. Is their signal somewhat weaker down this way for other listeners?
