Out my way using my SDS100 I hear mostly the South zone, occasionally the East zone where I hear Newport FD
I use Wide Normal filter, FM mode, Squelch at 0. I get the South Zone about 25% of the time and the East zone pretty much only when we get a little band enhancement.
However, with my Unication G5, I receive the South Zone about 85% of the time in the winter and the East Zone about 25% of the time in the winter. In the warmer weather including the spring and fall, push those up to 95% and 50% respectively. I am using an 8 Element Yagi (several actually) up 15 feet from the ground. I am 85 miles from the south transmit site at a bearing of 78 degrees.
