No, you still haven't understood what I said at all.

You asserted that "the limit for good reception all depends on the power 
level of the station."

That may be true in rural Nebraska, were there any HD signals on the air 
out there.

That's not the case along the I-95 corridor.

To use a real-world example that doesn't involve rooftop Yagis, let's 
take WPRO-FM in Providence.

By itself, its HD coverage would probably be limited to 30-35 miles or 
so on a typical receiver, simply as a function of its power level, as 
you claim.

In the real world, I suspect WPRO-FM's HD coverage is rather more 
limited than that, thanks to short-spaced first-adjacent WXRV 92.5.

Such situations are more common than not in the northeast, and as a 
Connecticut native, I'd think you'd have remembered that.
