The company goes on to explain what can cause reception interference, such as tunnels, mountains, building materials such as lead and thick concrete walls, or even power sources like street car wires.

I agree. It’s ridiculous the amount of ads on here. I remember years ago there was barely any. Im from Ontario and experiencing the same issue as cornfed.

We thank your support of our site, while the ads are never fun to see they help support our costs of running IIC and also feed families of our staff.
