[Scan-DC] Good Strong analog signals in Arlington area

[mike agner]

I would be on the hunt for a good FM trap if I were in that area. For example...

https://www.scannermaster.com/HPN_30118_Combined_Notch_Filter_p/24-531024.htm

With a decent outdoor antenna and a good filter in place, milair in Arlington should be a no-brainer. Even in a building,
you might still be able to hear the UHF side of Dulles if the scanner is near a window...

Very probably saturation of the receiver front end.  When I lived in North
Arlington WAMU came out of the cable from my crappy home brew discone at -15
dBm.
