I've got two of these things.  One from Rad Shack, and one from the
local Menard's. The one from Menard's seems to be a lot less picky with
antenna orientation than the one from Rad Shack.  I can't put the Rad
Shack clock near a computer monitor or large metal object, and it also
seems sensitive to the time of day and the weather outside.  The
Menard's clock has never shown a 'no signal' indicator that I've
noticed since I got it.  YMMV, the signals should be quite a bit
stronger here in eastern Nebraska thatn where you are.  In the RadShack
clock's defense, it *did* get a signal in my friend's basement hamshack
on Sweepstakes weekend.  Try changing the location or orientation of
the clock.
