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.
