Reception is also possible in the Maryland counties of Montgomery, Prince George's, and Charles County, Maryland. Additionally, reception is possible but unreliable in the Virginia counties of Clarke, Frederick, Orange, Louisa, Hanover, Essex, Richmond (no relation to the capital city of the state, which is not covered), and Northumberland, plus Calvert County, Maryland and Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
