    I wonder if the Dayton OH. spot on 129 tp 3 will reach me here in VA? I show a 65 signal strength on tp 3 but it does not say spot beam. not sure if that is what I am picking up or not?

    Instead of choosing distant could I just chose Roanoke VA.? It is only 90 miles away signal should reach Charlottesville I would think.
