An important aspect of losing signal when going away from the shore is the
ground conductivity in that area. That makes a significant coverage change
for any identical station by frequency, power and antenna. Local stations
like 1230, etc., cover far better in the middle of the US than in places
like New England. The FCC has a PDF map that can be downloaded to show the
ground conductivity in the US. Should be accurate for Canada near the
border as well.
