I monitor fire and EMS in the Hampton Roads area (Norfolk is the largest
city near me).

I have a Scantenna up at about 40" and run in with LMR-400 coax to my RS
Pro-96.

One evening back in August I heard a call go out for a MVA with an
overturned vehicle at Mile Marker 44. I knew this was not near me as
our Interstate mile markers are in the 150s. I kept listening and got
the location as the New Jersey Turnpike Mt. Holly. That is 217 miles
from me!
