Also was hearing the NWS weather station out of Escanaba, MI perfectly
while
parked in the Racine, WI harbor parking lot. Some 250 miles or so right up
the
shore of Lake Michigan.


Not bad at all. I'm only 50 miles from Escanaba, MI, and generally I have a
hard time picking up the NWS from there. For some strange reason, it comes
in better on my hand held scanner (with the factory duck) than it does on my
weather radio! What a waist of money that was... The weather radio has a
bigger antenna that I would assume is the right size to receive that band...
Oh well...
