Hi all,
I've got a wierd problem that I can't seem to make sense of. I cannot receive Boulder PD comms here at my house in Broomfield. I'm basically located at the intersection of 120th Ave and Sheridan.
I have a mag-mount VHF antenna mounted on a filing cabinet on the second story of my house - and I hear nothing on 156.135 MHz.
I also constructed a OCF Dipole (as described in the wiki) and have it mounted in my attic. It works fantastic on 151.355 and 159.270 MHz (Boulder County Fire/Sheriff), but, again, nothing on 156.135 MHz.
I've also taken a spectrum analyzer and monitored the spectrum (in my study on the second story of the house) from 150 - 160 MHz... there's no energy at 156.135 MHz.
Am I in some wierd null? Is anyone nearby that can check if they have reception? This sucks.
