80 feet up in a pine tree, 2 X CA16 Hills Phased arrays with an old Kingray MHA over 25 years old facing Sydney to the East and I could pick up down as far as Nowra (old 2ST?) and North to Newcastle.
Obviously the MHA doesnt have an FM filter which is why I lost my Sydney TV reception when they opened the local FM commercial Radio station.
Because the antennas have a front to back ratio, I can barely pick up Orange to the West although its closest in distance to the others.
At one time I used to receive a community station from around Sutherland somewhere but it was patchy.
Get up on a Mountain top and you will be surprised what you can receive on just a run of the mill car radio setup.
Visiting friends at Wangi Wangi years ago, I used to tune in 2 NUR Newcastle when I left Lithgow until I got to Richmond and it was patchy until I got north of Hornsby then varied all the way to Wangi.
