Default MEA oddity near Harrisburg, PA?

Similarly, there's one from Madison, Wisconsin to Chicago with something
like a 10,000 MEA. The best I can tell is that there's one hill in the
flats of Wisconsin that limits the signal, but it's not obvious.

I have the current Jepp LO 47 chart and there's something odd around
the SEG (Sellinsgrove) VOR (just north of HAR). The MEAs around the
VOR are in the 4000' range, except for V106 to RASHE, which is 14000'.

I sent a note to Jepp querying this. They claim it's correct, based
on navaid reception. I still find this hard to swallow. 14,000???
C'mon. And if so, why isn't there a MOCA for the segment? There's
a 6000 MEA / 3900T for the next segment.

Anyone have a NOAA chart? Does it have the same MEA? Anyone know
the MVA for the area? Anyone have a topo/sectional map of the area
to explain the mysterious navaid reception issue?
