It isn't just the antenna. It is every radio aspect of the location, 
antenna, and equipment that determines the S/N ratio. Then, on top of that, 
there is propagation.

Even if antennas were identical, there could be a 30 dB difference in 
background noise alone. Propagation differences could, at times, be 
infinite!
