I suspect much of the difference may be RX noise levels at both ends of 
the path. The number of RX noise sources has mushroomed over the past 
decade, with SMPS, variable speed motor controllers, solar systems, and 
the bean counters at power utilities that down-prioritize the 
maintenance of their distribution lines.
