There are a few other things to take into question.

What frequency do you want to monitor?

The PD and FD I want to monitor isaround 45MHz. I'd like to monitor
the range of frequencies my scanner provides, also.

What is the elevation of the town?


Maybe 50 feet? I haven't moved to the area, yet.

78 miles is really pushing it, even with a beam antenna.


I've heard, however, people receiving from even 100 miles... I'd just
like to hear some other experiences.

I have a scantenna and it is a signal magnet!!! I have not had the
time to put it up on the roof yet. I have it mounted on the fence and
at best it is 6" high. I have copied VHF at 35 miles.

Later
