GOOD

The observers that usually hear this region heard you, over two or more repeaters.

Most of the observers heard you.

A good share of them missed it.

LOW

Almost nobody in the region heard it, or no repeater passed it on.

The second line is the count: observers, regions and repeaters that carried your message.

Open the link to see your check next to a map of every copy the observers reported.
