[Scan-DC] MWAA

[David Schoenberger]

Yeah, I really think eleven miles south of the airport is way too far to
expect reception, without a great antenna.  I remember riding on Metro one
time, and losing reception around the Braddock Road station, which is the
first one south of the airport.  Reception also isn't that great in Crystal
City, which is maybe a half-mile from the airport.  On a positive note, I
believe reception is decent on the water in Old Town Alexandria.
