Explanation of NWR and SAME
NOTE: NWR service to a county depends on reliable signal
reception, which typically extends in about a 40 mile radius
from the transmitter, assuming level terrain. Counties
without NWR coverage or partial NWR coverage will be so
indicated. Some counties or parts thereof, especially in
mountainous areas, that are listed as having NWR coverage,
may not have reliable reception in some locations due to
signal blockages and/or excessive distance from the
transmitter.
