Yeah...that happened to me today. I needed a certain neighborhood for my Live shot and I found the look, parked the truck and knew I could only hit our transmitter tower site....only to be told to tune in to the station short stick site. Ugh!
After a few minutes of pan, pan, pan, pan, pan, pan, pan, pan with no signal seen on the other end it struck me that I was right next to this water tower...and it's height and large surface may just bounce the signal right into our reciever's dish.
I panned and tilted up to the water tower and bingo...they had a signal. A little bit of fine tuning and we were good to go for a 5 o'clock shot.

let's see an omb/vj/backpack dude figure that one out!
Many of us "omb/vj/backpakers" started as regular shooters before the bean counters all drank the kool aid, so dont assume we cant bounce that signal like a pro.
I once had to shoot my beam through someones 5th story livingroom window to hit my tower. The building was in the way and I needed a shot. Hope no one was home that evening!
Sometimes what we are looking for is just right beside you..
