Are single digit VHF really hard to pull in?

If there's local electrical noise, yes. Otherwise, not that much. I can routinely pick up KOMU from our family farm about 56 miles ESE of Columbia, NM in the mid
negative single digits with nothing more than our VHF dipole kit and a preamp.... unless the power lines within several hundred yards are radiating. The electrical noise, which is plainly visible on the spectrum analyzer, wipes out the very weak KOMU signal. KRCG is about 15 miles closer with an estimated NM of around 15 dB and doesn't get affected at the tuner.
