Nice list. It's rare for me to hear mil, so I was happy. The two lowest 30 mhz ones were pretty heavy for an hour.

That's an amazingly long list off of your telescopic antennas. Great job! I feel robbed, cheated heh. If I didn't have my equipment in the basement I would consider trying the telescopic. I get a feeling that anything I could throw up could do as good a job as my current antenna on low band.

What is BNSF ELOS ?

33.62 136.5 Probably not skip for me since it mentions Upper Merion. Will be posting the PA forum about this one.

Heard this one the last 3 nights in NC. That would be in PA correct?

That is correct, Montgomery County, PA. This particular low band frequency is used by Lower Providence Fire Company so they don't have to replace the low band pagers.
