I didn't say our mountains were big, only that:
-certain midwestern states are flatter, so maybe radio gets more than 60 miles out from the transmitter there
-certain New England states don't *go* 60 miles in all (or often more than one) direction from such transmitters.

Independent points

In some respects, it's jealousy. Of course, I'd care more if there were more worth listening to around here, but on a drive to Boston from Pittsburgh (via Elmira, Binghamton and Albany) I do have radio to listen to most of the way that I find enjoyable, and when it's not, of course, I turn the player back on.


Mt Davis isn't particularly exciting, either, BTW, but it does happen to fall about 60 miles from stations here, for what that's worth.
