Remember that earlier MPX receivers (before 1970 or so) required a fairly stong signal (like a rooftop antenna,) or they just wouldn't work. Many times the mono was OK though even with a marginal antenna. Alas, many stations are no longer properly maintaining their equipment or have dialed down area served, and some are relying on internet connections for a substantial portion of their market. Of course if a $20 little modern set will pull in the station you are interested in for identical placement, yes, something is not correct.
