Not quite Bill.   The pattern is not circular and it reaches maybe 50 miles in certain directions, but less in others. We are low power, but in FM radio the height of the transmitter determines how far it will carry.

Yes, most non-commercial stations operate at a lower power. The non-com's are centered around the low end of the dial due to FCC regulations, but there are many exceptions.
