Obviously, you're not old enough to remember the 40s, 50s and 60s. Back then everyone who wanted to watch television in Salinas had a 50' mast on their roof and a double-stacked antenna. And then the picture was far from the best. Snow was the norm. Admittedly, in the forty-plus years since, technology has improved, and we're now watching a digital signal. However, the mountains between here (I live by the golf course, north of town) and San Francisco will still make for a tough environment. I've included a copy of my radar image. Note most of the SF stations require a lot of help.
