I spent the weekend in Chicago. My place is located a few blocks from Engine 106's quarters, which has a transmitter, but I was not able to receive the fire channels indoors. EMS channels were coming in pretty weak. Does anyone know if they're doing maintenance on the N. Elston transmitter or is something else going on?
Granted, I was using a 1.5" antenna on my BCD396 but I've never had a problem picking up Fire Main at that location before.

Quite a few issues issues over the past months with all of the CPD/CFD receiver sites at one time or another. You may have been there at one of those times.
