My best educated guess is that the transmitters for the different subs are located at the sub headquarters. The antennas don't have to be very tall, since the frequencies they're broadcasting on travel pretty far. Yard frequencies are usually at the yard office. As for picking uo the transmissions, it all depends on what kind and length of antenna you have, the time of day, weather conditions (cloud cover makes FM waves travel farther), and whether you're in a valley or on a hill. There are many other factors, but these are the main ones.
