FWIW, I agree with both Chuck and Dave. For FM signals, the capture effect will only demodulate the strongest signal on a particular frequency. You may have to orient your antenna to tune in the strongest signal though.

Decent-to-strong tropo and/or E-skip on FM will usually p[enetrate the FM IBOC hash here, and most of the Philadelphia FM's are about 7-10 miles from me. On AM, I can't hear a formerly-regular daytimer at all on first adjacent, and I suspect the result would be the same if the distance were only 50 miles.
