Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are a lot of TV and commercial radio towers in Northwest D.C.? I think they are near American University, Georgetown and near Tenleytown. I remember reading that ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC have transmitters there. If that's true, then I might want to avoid listening to my scanner for fear that they will overload my old dual converstion scanners. :D

Are there any areas in the Washington D.C. area that seem to have high intermod that I should avoid?

I got some weird RF interferrence at the Fairfax County Government Centre near West Ox road. I hear paging signals when I am near Tyson's Corner Mall and some noise Merrifield Garden Centre. The area around Crystal City and National Airport (DCA) doesn't seem to have a lot of interferrence.
