They do show up, but really far down on your report. Most of the SF channels (around 242ยบ azimuth) are down in the "gray" zone of your report meaning that they will be very difficult to receive. There are just too many mountains in the way. All of the SF channels show "2Edge" (double edge diffraction) for the path between you and the transmitter.
Here's a "cross section" view of the terrain between KGO (Sutro tower, ch 7, on the left) and your location (right side of plot). Click on any transmitter on the table of your report to get a similar view for that station.
I'd recommend focusing your attention on the Sacto stations for clear, worry-free viewing.
Even if you could get the SF channels to work, it would probably be at much greater expense, and even then, probably would not be always reliable.
