100 %! By choosing "start maps" instead of "click here" to start, you will be presented with a Google map showing where the receive location is. Zoom in like you would on any Google map and move the pointer to exactly the right place. Adjust the antenna height as needed, then click the make radar plot button. Share that result with us.

Many times, addresses are not mapped to exactly the right place on earth. In someplace like the open Plains, that would not make much much difference. However, in your area, two city blocks might be the difference between the top of a hill and the bottom.

I suspected that your location used in the report did not match reality after looking at the path profile for one of the LA stations. Click on any station in the listing of your report and a profile of the path between transmitter and you pops up in a new window. In this case, it looked like you were sitting in a valley, not on top of a hill.
