Your local signals strengths on the report (Sacramento) are not low however, they are unlikely to be accurate for a number of those stations due to factors that are not included in the calculations, specifically, the vertical elevation patterns of the transmitting antenna and where their main beams are aimed vs your elevation and the presence of the forest around your receiving location. The calculations for the Bay area stations are pretty much a SWAG for your location. Doesn't mean you will or won't get them, it just means that with all the various imprecisions in your situation, their reception will definitely be a "YMMV" situation.
