[Scan-DC] MWAA system transmitters

[Ed Tobias]

Thanks to all who replied to this thread.  I doubt that I would hear the 
transmitters at IAD or near 267 & 7 and I've heard that the DCA site, or all 
of the sites, have low antennas and power.  So, that could explain why I 
can't hear them inside my office at 13th and L, NW even though I'm on the 
South side of the building, with a fairly clear shot toward DCA from 7 
floors up.  I do, however, hear the trunked systems from Arlington and 
Fairfax and DC's 450 mHz system.  Guess I'll just have to rely on RR's 
streaming audio feed when I'm at work.
