[Scan-DC] MWAA system transmitters

I believe there are three simulcast sites.
IAD in the terminal area.
267 and 7, southwest of the intersection, probably at the Sheraton.
DCA going into the airport NB from the GW Pkwy.

I have a hard time copying it on a 996T from locations where I can see all
three sites. That's why I suspect it is simulcast. I would think your office
would be in the primary footprint of DCA. Do you hear other 800 systems well
at your office (other than the ones with nearby transmitters)? 800 does not
penetrate very well thru tinted glass which has metallic particles for the
tinting material. That could be a possibility of why you don't hear it.
