An LOS signal path is not a requirement for solid reception (but it sure helps) and most people who use antennas rely on paths that calculated to 1-edge or 2-edge paths. The important thing is to get the right antenna into a spot that happens to coincide with a signal that's "good enough". Goldilocks, if you will.

I think I may have been getting that calculation mixed up with where KRBK is at 1 edge conditions according to the simulator. Are you not thinking that the peak of the 2nd story would be better for KRBK?
