Can you receive it?

Whether this transmitter reaches a given address depends on the terrain between the two points, not just the distance. Ask for a specific spot:

GET /api/receivable?lat=&lon=

The answer grades the path geometry from the USGS 10 m elevation model and says how far into an obstruction it is. It ranks paths; it does not promise a picture.

Can an assistant read this station's website?

No website is on file for this station, so there is nothing to check. Websites come from Wikidata; a station missing there is absent from this section rather than scored zero.
