Hello,
what I found out that was interesting was when I lived in Northern Kentucky 
around the Covington Area I would have trouble with Serious dropping out. 
When I lived in my Condo I would have to put the antenna out side to pick it 
up.  I was on the first floor and when I moved to an apartment there I was 
on the second floor and I could some times get it with my antenna inside.  I 
was on the second floor there.  There was one floor above me.  Now that I 
live in Louisville which is futher south about 100 miles I live in an 
apartment on the second floor and I get
Serious just fine.  I have had an ocasional drop  out but that isn't too 
often.  I don't have another floor above me so I don't know how much this 
factors in.  But x.m. is a lot easier to recieve than Serious.
