GroundUrMast steers you true on this one.

KTSF is predicted to arrive at -1.0 db at your location. Your only chance at successful reception of the signal is outside, either on your roof or in another outdoor location.

It was said earlier in this thread and it bears repeating, the bay area in many places is awful for reception due to terrain. That is why AM radio (IE, KRFC 610, KCBS 740 and KGO 810) remained so dominant after FM radio had taken over: AM signals handled the terrain better.

Be patient, be persistent. If engineers of broadcast stations have been fighting the local terrain for years in your area, you know you aren't the first to be frustrated by those difficulties.
