Furthest reception from your tuner and how?


I am moving to a remote location - about 4 hours from San Francisco and 6 hours from Portland. There is some radio, but... I'm curious. A few questions for you tuner guru guys:

What equipment do you use?
Modded or stock?
How many filter and gangs, antennas, sleuths, etc.?
What's the most remote signal you have been able to pull?
How has it sounded?
Any thoughts on things you would try if given the opportunity?

Bio,

I'm also a former Eugenean, now in Florence. I lived in Ferry Street Bridge and Whiteaker and never got any Portland stations, but when I moved into the South Hills facing north I could get a few, not listenable though. I knew a guy who lived near the top of Spencer Butte with a big yagi who could get fairly decent Portland. If you're moving to southern OR/northern CA, I can't imagine where you could live and get an antenna high enough to get Portland or SF.

KWVA now streams at 320K which is at least as good as most broadcast signals, and KRVM now has an AACplus stream that is also very good. KLCC is at 80K which is quite listenable. KWAX is at 192K and is also terrific. What more do you need?
