The way my house is, I can see the high school from my back yard. I live near
the top of the hill, and the high school is in a "canyon" (very close). If the
radio can go as far as from my Chemistry class (which is near the back) to my
house, that should be far enough. Well, for me anyway. :)
But for people who don't live that close... any hope of this working a couple
of miles across town?
