I think you should drive right up to the station, tune in on your car
radio, then drive home and see where and why the signal disappears. I
suspect your radio is being captured by a strong adjacent channel
transmitter.

I'm in Mountain View, CA and trying to find station KSFH-FM, which is an
FCC-licensed Class "D" station. It is owner by a local school, and when I call
them they say they're on the air with programming. I am 1 mile from the campus
and can SEE the antenna. I tune to every channel from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz.
Nothing, except, of course, the other stations normally heard. I also try
holding my antenna sideway, vertical, every which way.
I call the FCC office in San Francisco and they say yes they're a legal
station, and they should reach at least 3 miles, so try again. Again nothing.
What is going on?
