I don't think anyone else believes so, either.  My guess is that they
are operating on the basis of theoretical contours (as defined by the
F(x,y) curves in FCC regs) and the FCC doesn't know that the signal
really doesn't reach Lawrence.  (It's only a 25-mile distance, so the
signal *would* reach were it not for the topography.)
