How far away should I be able to receive a 1KW signal? The transmitter
in Cologne should be about 15km away (just a guess, I will have to 
look it up on a map).
Of course I do not have any suitable antenna on the roof because we
switched to using satellite TV only almost 10 years ago. I'll try with
the antenna from a portable TV ...
