Hi there,
I am finding myself wanting to listening to the "local" airports more and more.
My problem is I can barely receive the towers.
I live 20 miles from SFO and 10 miles from SJC.
I can receive both towers but they are very weak. SFO actually comes in just slightly better than SJC.
Right now I'm using a discone antenna along with a notch filter for the FM band. Before that filter I couldn't receive either tower.
I tried an inline amplifier. It really didn't make much difference.
I'm wonder if a dedicated antenna tuned to the airband frequencies would be a good move.
Anyone have any thoughts on that?
Thanks!
Charlie
