Just remember, VHF comm is line of site. If you can't see it, you can't
hear it (well sort of). I can't hear the tower on the airfield sometimes
with the large hangars in the way. Our TX antennae are less than 50 feet
above the ground, often less than 20. You should have no problem picking
up aircraft, though.

I got a cheap radio shack airplane scanner. It works great when I sit in the
airport parking lot but 5 km out it does nothing. I live about 15 km from a
small airport and 40 from Pearson Internation Airport. Is there a external
antenna I can clip on to this thing to boost its receiving capabilites?
