For exactly where your rabbit ear antenna is, and you are lucky.

Elsewhere in SF, especially given the hills, I would seriously doubt the universal efficacy of rabbit ears.

And it will also depend on what the building is made of.

The only way to guarantee good FM reception is an external directional* antenna pointed at each desired station. If it isn't just a dipole it will have gain.

No tuner made can reject multipath effects.
