Usually the receiption is better a little farther away from the 
transmission station than directly under the transmitting antenna - 
reflections and interferences are a real problem, especially inside 
buildings.

In any case you can get a cheap Nova-T for less than 100EUR as reference 
you should be able to easily check your receiption situation.
