You MIGHT be able to get Phoenix stations with a really good directional antenna. I'm from Phoenix and lived in Flagstaff for awhile while going to school. I had a Radio Shack 12-element FM antenna mashed up against the ceiling of my apartment (college kid) and I had a Pioneer F-28 tuner (amazing sensitivity) and could get the Tucson NPR station in pretty quiet mono and noisy stereo.
So you may be able to get Phoenix from Tucson. I'd get a great antenna and a really sensitive tuner. You'll probably have to tune it away from local transmitters to avoid overload.
Have fun shoveling the sunshine!

Don't circularly polarized signals rotate the other way down there?
Helical RH or LH 'thread' or a crossed dipole fed in the two possible ways.Most stations simply used mixed polarity these days. AKA 45deg. slant.
This helps a bit with mobile reception in cars.
IIRC rhombics when horizontal have that polarity. But I may be wrong.

implicitly referring to the Coriolis effect.
Small but worth compensating for effect on gunnery, at long range at sea.
I see I've spelt it wrong, too.

And then there's the Beethoven overture, as well. And the countertop material.
...even weaker jokes...
Of course you dare, Timbo, we wouldn't have it any other way! Someone has to keep up the good fight.

We have had unusually wet weather from February onwards.
I have a LOT to do in the garden, gutters and etc. Once it fines up, that is!
