And yes, that is my TV Fool report.
Thank you.

Yes, KFLA-LD IS a low power station, but I don't consider it the fault of the FCC. Low power stations are supposed to run at low power, hence the name.

Not only is it running low power, but it has a very directional antenna that sends only 0.366 kW out of 3 kW ERP in your direction, That is 366 Watts out of 3,000 Watts:

I probably would need an even larger antenna boom to improve reception. But at my age, what I have on my roof is my limit! LOL!
However, if you have any more suggestions, I'm all ears.....
Any suggestion that I can think of now would probably exceed your limit.
