Same here. I have a similar sticker on the tailgate of the truck and one on the rear of the fifth wheeler. Virtually nothing heard.

I do select up the local amateur repeaters when traveling through the Adirondack Mountains. The clubs have managed to install repeaters at public safety radio sites on mountain tops throughout the park. Coverage is good to excellent despite the hills and mountains. Today I am traveling 54 miles up Route 30 to Indian Lake. The repeater on Oak Mountain in Speculator gives great coverage all the way up and back.
