It also depends on how 'local' you define local.
There can be a HUGE difference in signal strength on 6M sporadic E when
stations are separated by a surprisingly short distance. I've seen many
10's of dB differences over distances as short as 15-25 miles.
I have worked (or not worked, depending on who had the prop) many DX
stations with good signals while other 'locals' with equivalent stations
heard nothing. 10 minutes later, the opposite was happening.
