Sure you're listening to 145.800 MHz? It's so loud, you should only need a wet noodle as the antenna.

I'm using a discone and experienced almost no fading whatsoever. The signal sounded like it was coming from across the street. Amazing what 25W can do, even at that distance...

Also I noted that in my particular program (SDR#) the center of the signal was actually at 145.804 (and didn't actually drift that much from there, even with Doppler).
