Also having it only on L-Band probably didn't help, as that makes it

Using frequencies in the Ghz range is pretty dumb for an earthbound broadcast
system that needs to penetrate hills and buildings. You'd think they'd have
figured that out before they started the tests.

As for recievers - my Denon picks up L Band but its the only one I know of.
